Re: connect XP pro to domain

My computer is already called misheck1 and has computer account on the
contoso domain. I have logged on the computer as an administrator and tried
to join it to domain and when asked for a username and password I have
entered one that is in The domain controller, domain admin, admin and user
and all these have failed with same result wrong username and password. The
only thing I have noticed is that when I try to join to domain under system
properties and change name and when I select domain and enter (contoso.com)
that comes up with domain controller not found but when I enter (contoso)
which on the server01 pc is the Netbios name for computers before XP thats
accepted and proceeds me to the next screen where I have to enter a username
and password and thats where I get all the error messages. I have tried
entering the usernames as contoso\username then password and thats failed
too. I have also tried contoso.com\username and thats also failed.

Is there not a setting I should enable on the server01 so it can allow
computers to join to domain because this the first computer I am trying to
join to the domain after re-installing the Windows server and also creating
an AD?

I also have not yet setup a admin account on server01 but I have admin
accounts in the Domain for contoso so Do you mean I should set up an admin
account on the computer not the admin account in the contoso.com domain?

Here you have probably started to introduce a NAT problem.
Are you sure you want the server and the XP machine on different networks?
The dhcp request will not travel through the router. Make sure you
understand ip-netwoking and routing.

1st connect everything to the LAN ports, don't use the WAN port. That way
you will have created ONE network.
Make sure the server has an IP numer which is NOT provides by the DHCP
server to another machine.

First make sure you have a correct ip connection. Make sure a simple ping
command works. After that you can look at the next level.

This has nothing to do with the NAT at the moment. Misheck, just follow this
setting and you will be all set:

Server--------
|
XP1-----------|--------Switch----------->Router----------->Internet
|
XP2-----------

1. Static IP address for the server. Use the server as a DCHP & DNS server
2. Configure XP machines to obtain DHCP address from the server
3. Make sure you can ping the server from those XP machines by name and vice
versa.
4. Join those XP boxes to the domain using either domain administrator
account or any account belong to domain admin group. As PAJ has mentioned
above, use this format for user name: contoso\administrator. You should be
able to join the domain by then.
5. Disable your wirless router DHCP
6. Connect your router's LAN port to the switch. Most of the switches
nowaday have autosensing function, therefore you may not even need to use a
crossover cable. If that is not the case, then just use the uplink port with
a straight cable.
7. Configure your server DHCP scope to include the router's internal static
IP address as the gateway.
8. Renew the IP addresses for the XP boxes to make sure they get the new
gateway information.

Let's us know if you still have problem.
