Hi, my work computer currently is using Windows 2000, and loggs on to a
domain. I like XP a bit better, so I installed XP Pro on a seperate
partition, (not an upgrade), to ensure that I dont mess up anything. Now,
while installing XP, i named my computer the same as the 2000 was called, and
I tried to have it log on to the domain, in which access was denied. I guess
my permissions can't allow me to join a domain. Is there a way around this?
The network administrator is extremely hard to get a hold of at my work, so I
cant easily have them add my computer, but wouldn't you think that since i
named the computer the same name as the 2000 computer, it should of
connected? If i did file and settings transfer wizard from the 2000
partition transfer over domain settings to the xp partition? Is there a
registry key that would allow me to access the domain logon screen to let my
log in to the domain? Any help would be apprecaited!
