You have to go into the system settings and set the workstation as a domain member. Depending on the OS this will look different. Its not enough to JUST set the user and the machine to have a domain account, you have to tell the workstation that is now the member of the domain so that when you log in you see the domain name option and the workstation will use that as the point of authentication. In Win7 it is a link in the Computer name, domain, and work-group area of the System information box. In Windows XP you can Right click on My Computer and one of the tabs allows you to move from Work-group to Domain mode. Either way you will need to know the domain admins username and password. Keep in mind that this also changes the users local profile so any customisations that are not machine generic will be gone. It also repoints things like the My Documents folder and stuff like that so you may have to go around and hunt stuff down and move it tot h new user profile.

Hello, Can you please assist me on how to add a Computer DNS in Windows Server 2008 and if there is a tutorial somewhere send me a link. The issue came back as now i cannot log in to the new computer added and i looked to the older computers there is a computer Domain Name System(DNS) but in the new one it does not allow me to add the computer DNS - i guess that is a problem i have thanks for your continued support
