SUMMARY
There are three methods to add a computer to a Windows NT domain:
- Through the Server Manager
- By installing the Windows NT workstation or Windows NT Advanced Server
- By using the Networks option in the Windows NT Control Panel
Using the Server Manager to Add a Computer to a Domain
Perform the following six steps to use the Server Manager to add a computer to a domain:
- The Administrator must log onto an account with Administrator privileges on any Advanced Server in the domain.
- Run the Server Manager in the Administrative Tools group.
- From the Computer menu, choose Add To Domain.
- In the Add Computer to Domain dialog box, choose either the Server option to add an Advanced Server to the domain or the Workstation option to add a workstation to the domain.
- Enter the name of the computer in the Computer Name edit control and choose Add. Then choose Close.
- Log onto the newly-added computer and run the Control Panel. Choose Networks and make sure that the list of domains includes the newly specified domain.
Adding a Computer to a Domain During Installation
Perform the following three steps to add a computer to a domain while installing Windows NT:
- The Windows NT Setup includes a Network Configuration section to configure the workstation to join a domain or join a workgroup.
- If the workstation joins a domain, enter the domain name. If an account for the workstation does not already exist in the Server Manager, select an administrator name and password to create a new account for the computer in the domain.
- After entering the domain name, administrator name, and administrator password (if required), Windows NT responds with the message "Welcome to the <domain_name> domain" where <domain_name> is the specified domain. This message indicates that the workstation was successfully added to the domain.
Perform the following three steps to add a computer to a domain while installing Windows NT Advanced Server:
- The Windows NT Advanced Server Setup includes a Network Configuration section to configure the Advanced Server as the Primary Domain Controller for a new domain or as a Backup Domain Controller for an existing domain. A Backup Domain Controller stores a copy of the domain user database.
- To join a domain as a Backup Domain Controller, enter the domain name. If an account for the workstation does not already exist in the Server Manager, select an administrator name and password to create a new account for the computer in the domain.
- After entering the domain name, administrator name, and administrator password (if required), Windows NT responds with the message "Welcome to the <domain_name> domain" where <domain_name> is the specified domain. This message indicates that the workstation was successfully added to the domain.
Adding a Computer to a Domain with the Control Panel
Perform the following four steps to use the Control Panel to add a workstation to a domain:
- Run the Control Panel and select the Network icon.
- The Network dialog box lists the workgroup or domain to which the workstation belongs. Choose Change to add a new domain.
- If an account for the workstation does not already exist in the Server Manager, select an administrator name and password to create a new account for the computer in the domain.
- After entering the domain name, administrator name, and administrator password (if required), Windows NT responds with the message "Welcome to the <domain_name> domain" where <domain_name> is the specified domain. This message indicates that the workstation was successfully added to the domain.
