Maybe I misunderstood you. You are saying you added this machine (joined) to
the domain already?

I'm a little confused. If the NetworkID and Change button are grayed out, is
this a Windows 2000 domain controller? Are you logged on as a domain
administrator or local administrator if attempting to change this.

Maybe I am also confused by the term 'dummy' login and how it is restricted.
How is it restricted? Local policy?
