RSA Version/Condition: 7.x
Issue
This articles explains how to know the registry setting for the Send the domain name and user name to RSA Authentication Manager instead of just the user name option found in the RSA Authentication Agent for Windows RSA Control Center under Advanced Tools > Challenge Users 
Resolution
By default, the RSA Authentication Agent 7.x for Windows on Microsoft Windows 2012 R2 does not have the key SendDomainName set in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\RSA\RSA Desktop Preferences\Local Authentication Settings.
 
SendDomainName only appears when the option is selected in the RSA Control Center under Advanced Tools > Challenge Users then selecting Send the domain name and user name to RSA Authentication Manager instead of just the user name.
 
The Send the domain name and user name option is available after setting the challenge.
 
Notes
RSA Authentication Agent 7.x for Windows on Microsoft Windows 2008 R2 has the key SendDomainName set in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\RSA\RSA Desktop Preferences\Local Authentication by default.
