SERVICEDOMAIN not consistent

[OvalPiston]

I think I have the solution.

Here's what I found in the Registry to use for retrieving the joined domain:



And you set the Default Value to [%USERDOMAIN] in case this value isn't there:

That's filled in as to what the current user is logged into. If the user is logged in locally, it's the computer's name. It's not the domain the computer is joined to.

Possibly you can use the solution found by this post's author, as long as the USERDOMAIN environment variable is properly set on the target system:

I set property SERVICEDOMAIN = [%USERDOMAIN] under 'Custom Actions'

A long, long time ago. What can I use, then, to pre-fill the field with the netbios domain name?

Where did you retrieve this info from? SERVICEDOMAIN is not a standard MSI Property...

Customers are saying that a field in my MSI Factory installation dialog (which has as its "Property name" as SERVICEDOMAIN) sometimes puts in the computer name and NOT the NetBIOS name of the domain.

How can I fix this?
