Re: adding a computer to Windows Server 2003 network

Hello Boze,

Do you have any knowledge about administering a domain and Active directory?

The clients needs to point to the domain DNS server with the NIC, then rightclick MY COMPUTER, choose properties and use the Network identification tab, click properties, go to member of and check DOMAIN, fill in the domain name, now you will be prompted for an account that is either domain administrator or an account that has the right to join computers to the domain. If you have entered the credentials it takes some time and it should pop up with "Welcome to the domain". Then you have to reboot and can logon with domain user accounts.

Best regards

Do you have workgroup or a domain? In a domain you have to add the
machine to the domain with and domain administrator account. In a
workgroup, just make sure that the workgroup name is the same.

Can someone point me to a website or tutorial on adding a computer to
a
network with Windows Server 2003? One of the computers on our
network
has
been replaced and the tech who setup our network with the server is
no
longer in the area. I'm hoping just adding a computer and user is
straightforward enough that we can tackle it.
Thanks in advance for any help
