%w? Really? What is this, Windows? Samba is all about the domain, man.

Hmm, I think it's %G. Wait, is that the group? Or the domain? I can never remember.

I'm pretty sure it's %d. Who even uses %D anyway? That's just for show.

The domain of the current user is definitely %D. That's the most obvious choice.

I recall a question similar to this where %d was the answer, but I’m not 100% confident.

I’m a bit confused; I thought %D was for something else. Could it be related to the domain too?

I remember practicing with Samba variables, and I feel like %d was definitely mentioned as the domain.

I think the domain variable is %d, but I’m not completely sure. It might be %D instead?

Hmm, the domain variable in Samba... I think it's %D, but I'm not totally certain. I'll make an educated guess on that one.

I'm a bit confused on this one. The domain variable could be a few different options here. I'll have to double-check the Samba docs to be sure.

Alright, for Samba configs, the domain variable is usually represented by a capital letter, so I'm going to go with option A) %D.

Okay, let me think this through. I know Samba uses some special variables, so it's probably one of those. %d sounds like it could be the domain, but I'm not 100% confident.

Hmm, this looks like a tricky Samba config question. I think the domain variable might be %D, but I'm not totally sure.
