Hi,

I'm running Windows 2000 server and logged in as Administrator to the
local machine. If I go to the network id properties, the option to
join the pc to a domain is grayed out. It's currently set to
Workstation but even if I wanted to change the name, I can't because
that is grayed out as well.

Has anyone come across this before? I'd appreciate any input.

Thanks!
