To create a domain, you would need to start with a server operating system, such as WinNT 4.0 Server (may it rest in peace), Win2K Server, or Windows Server 2003. WinXP Pro, or Vista Business or Ultimate, as a workstation operating system, is an excellent choice for a client OS to use on the domain's workstations. Win98, WinXP or Viasta Home, however, are not designed to, nor can truly be made to, join a WinNT, Win2K or Win2K3 domain. Some basic info here: http://faq.midrange.com/data/cache/298.html http://www.windowsitpro.com/Articles...8998.html?Ad=1 http://docs.hp.com/en/B8725-90074/ch11s03.html > All I can see is the Workgroup > option. > Correct. -- Bruce Chambers Help us help you: http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. -Benjamin Franklin Many people would rather die than think; in fact, most do. -Bertrand Russell |

You'll need Vista Business or better to join a domain. |
