| Thanks for the reply. I'm assuming that you mean (check
| domain user....) on the local machine, correct?

Correct

  The
| client/setup folder - this is from the server?

Yes, on the server. If in doubt, make sure "everyone" has all rights

This is
| where I get confused. I think I need to go in and add a
| new user to our network,

Yes, you will need to add a new user.

 then select use an existing
| computer, etc etc.

No, try this instead

You can add there pc to the network without creating a computer account on
the domain. Just login with admin priveliges from the workstation, right
click the computer icon on the desktop and select properties, click the
computer name tab and click the change button. The direction to go should
be apparent at that point.

Then I must go to the local machine
| and ad a user

Add the domain\user account to the local administrators group on the PC.

(do this signed onto local machine as
| administrator). Am I right so far??
|
| Thanks!!
