Specify the domain name in your compose file: + + ```yaml + environment: + DOMAIN: "example.com" + ``` + + Use the domain name, such as `example.com`, rather than a URL. The supplied account is added to the local Administrators group and automatically signed in after installation. + + Windows must be able to resolve and reach the domain controller through the domain's DNS server. + ### How do I select the Windows language? By default, the English version of Windows will be downloaded.
