RE: Add domain user to local group, but where is the domain?



Hi Marc,
Thanks for your quick reply.

- The computer is connected to the domain
- When I am logged in and see the other computers in the domain, so there is
no problem with the connection

I tried it using the local administrator as you said. No domain.

Then I noticed that my computer was not in DNS. So I did a ipconfig
/registerdns. And still not in DNS. Changed some records in DNS and suddenly
my computer was created in DNS.

After that, the domain and the users were available in the lists. So truely
a name resolving thing.

I was doing my head in with this; you gave me the idea of a DNS problem.
After that is was easy. Thanks for letting me think in a different order.

name resolution...)

it not shown?
My computer is Win2003 server as a member server.
