When I add a computer to the domain from the workstation I go through
the wizard and I enter the server administrator name, administrator
password and domain name. I do this for all the times the wizard has
fill in the blanks questions related to a domain user. Is that where
you are having problems? The workstation is part of the workgroup
Workgroup when you start the Network wizard? You do not use local
workstation admin accounts to join a domain. Only the domain
administrator (s) accounts.
