Need procedure "how to"
Have new Dell XP Box. Want to add it to our office server 2003.
Set up user w/password, and computer in server.
On XP box used My Computer, Properties, change to add XP box to domain.
Prompted for ID, password, and domain.

Is the username/password already setup on the Domain Server?

Steve,
Server 2003:
Set up user, I'd, password. Then added computer

XP Dell:
Went to my computer, properties, change name/join domain. Entered user name, password, and domain.
Login error came up that user did not have domain privlages......

From your profile, you are in Dallas. I live in Las Colinas.
Could we discuss over the air???

Thx

Frank

Hey Neighbor - sorry but I know very little about servers/domains etc...Am sure someone will come along and be able to answer your question.

Did you use the user name & password of a Domain Administrator when you tried adding the XP computer to the domain?

Yes I did.

Hi there,
I think your id had the rights of Local Admin, So firstly you need to login to ur PC with the Domain Administrator ID and then add the local admin user names with which you want to do the installations on your PC in future. In this way you issue will be solved
