Follow these steps before using your virtual machine.
1. On the desktop of the virtual machine, right-click the computer icon and
choose Properties.

Change Settings (on the right side).
3. On the Computer Name tab, click Change.

We recommend that PlantPAx servers and workstations be members of a
Windows domain for systems with 10 or more computers. The domain
centralizes administration of the users, groups, and security settings.
6. Restart the virtual computer to enable the changes to the settings.
7. Login by using your domain credentials or local user administration
account previously created.

IMPORTANT To join a domain, the user must have the appropriate domain user
account with proper credentials to add the computer to the domain.
