Windows NT Domain
-
Haven't worked with a proper network and domain setup for nearly 2 years now, and haven't had to connect a computer to a domain for over 2 years. Tonight (a couple of hours away) I have to connect a Windows XP Professional and Windows 2000 Professional to an NT domain. I know I have to go Control Panel -> System -> Identification and then clekc the button to add to a domain. But from memory I have to also add the machine to the PDC's Server Manager. Is his correct? I can't remember if I have to do this from the server itself or from the new client logged in as Domain Admin. Anyone care to refresh my memory? I can't spend any time looking through the KB as I have to complete my mundane day job before immediately shooting off to the 2nd job to get this done. Only got the call half an hour ago to tell me this was on. I get the calls as the boss gets in more work than she has people to do it.

On 2000 and XP, when you specify the domain name, it will prompt you for the username and password of a domain user with permission to add the machine to the network, and then add the machine account automatically. You shouldn't need to touch the server manager at all. HTH, Richard

Exactly what I needed and exactly what I did. Thanks for the information though I had to ring someone earlier to get the info I needed. I received your reply 22:29 Sydney time and I did this about 3 hours earlier. From memory I posted this about 01:00 New York time which would have been 22:00 Arizona time.I can't believe Roger Wright wasn't up at that time scanning the Operating System forum on the off chance I most post a question he should answer. ;P Michael Martin Australia "I personally love it because I can get as down and dirty as I want on the backend, while also being able to dabble with fun scripting and presentation games on the front end." - Chris Maunder 15/07/2002
