Dear Marina,

How to join a workstation pc to domain(SBS2000).

Before joining do I need to create computer account and
user name in the Active Directory?

Or Can I create the account while joining to the domain
(network wizard from client pc).
is it better to join the domain after installing all the
application and patches?

Which is the best practice to install application on local
pc. Login an domain admin or login as local admin ?

pls advise
