The big issue with %USERDOMAIN is that it is the domain of the user account that is logged on (and running the install). This may not be the Domain you are after. Example: You are installing software on a Server in an Active Directory domain. You want the domain name of AD - but the user account logged on is the local administrator for the server, in this case the %USERDOMAIN will actually be the server name, as this is a local account.
By the way, I have not found an easy way to get the domain in this case, other than prompt for it.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] How to get USERDOMAIN? If it exists and you trust it, it can be used in any field that accepts environment variables (for example: formatted). It cannot be evaluated within the context of a deferred custom action, but it can be evaluated in the process of writing the deferred script, so it should work in the CustomAction table even for deferred actions. -----Original Message----- From: Konstantin Vlasenko [mailto:konstantin.vlase...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, October 22, 2009 1:00 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: [WiX-users] How to get USERDOMAIN? Hello, I need to put usersomain into configuration file during the installation. How can I use %USERDOMAIN environment variable in the setup? Do we have some restrictions related to how and when we can use this environment variable? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Come build with us!
