Re: add a user to a PC admin group

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



I was on the PC logged in locally , (therez only the admin account) , then I
went to network icon on the desktop then properties and then advanced and
then network ID and then I moved the dot in workgroup to domain and typed in
the name of the domain and then a window popped up and I typed in the domain
admin name and password.

Hi,

I have a computer I added to a network so now its in a domain. Why the heck
can't I add a user to the admin group on that bloody box.

It (the) PC can't see the domain name thging, so when I want to add someone
to that PC's admin group I can't ... that stupid field "LOCATIONS" won't
change over to the DOMAIN so I can see the other peoples names.

Is there anyplace on the internet that explains " in normal clear english"
how to deal with this PC's in a Domain stuff and how to add people to a
machine?! How do I get the domain name to show up in that locations box!?!?
The PC is on the net work, when I click on network I can see all the other
machines there.

I just want to log in to that computer like I usualy do and not log on thru
the domain. I want the desktop not to change.

God help me if it's a microsoft article they don't write in normal english!
(grin)

Thanks
.
