%r is more about the user, not the domain. I vote for %d!

I'm not so sure. %D looks like it could be the answer too.

I'm just going to go with %D and hope for the best. It's not like I actually use Samba on a daily basis.

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

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

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

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.
