selection profile in the task sequence. Selection profiles are covered in the Importing Drivers section in this
chapter .

SkipDomainMembership – This setting is still configured as YES to prevent the display of the domain or
workgroup join fields on the Computer Details page, but rather than specifying a workgroup to join, the
following settings specify a domain to be joined along with the required credentials:
o JoinDomain – This setting is used to specify the domain for the deployed computer to join.
o DomainAdmin – This setting is used to specify the user name with rights to join a computer to the
domain.
o DomainAdminDomain – This setting is used to specify the domain membership of the user being used
to join the computer to the domain.
o DomainAdminPassword – This setting is used to specify the password for the user being used to join
the computer to the domain.
Note: The user name and password information is stored in the deployment share rules in plaintext. As
such it is recommended to use an account that is designated to the required task only. In this case the
user account MDT in the contoso.com domain will be configured with delegation rights to join
computers to the domain and will be enabled only during active deployments.
Follow the procedure for configuring the bootstrap.ini file in the Configuring Boot Media Rules section of Chapter 4 .
Customizing Task Sequence Selection by Model
The SkipTaskSequence setting is not specified in the [Default] section of the deployment share rules, but is required for
full automation of the deployment. It was omitted to enable a technician to select between task sequences during
deployment. If it was specific in the rules, the same task sequence would be applied to every computer. To automate
the selection process for a specific computer model, you need to determine the value for the built-in Model variable
and specify it in the customsettings.ini file.
To find the value for the Model variable for a specific computer or device, launch a PowerShell session on the desired
computer and run the following command, as shown in Figure 5.3:
