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

    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
