Sorry for the delay in getting this one out...been busy with actually
work! <grin>

 

We've already done the hard work. This one is EASY (only six screen
shots....). http://www.marlow.com/downloads/Client1.jpg (through 6)

 

This is done on a brand new Windows XP SP3 install.  Though any client
will do....WARNING when you log in, you will get a new desktop.  A
client machine setup on a domain can still allow previous 'non-domain'
accounts to login, it's called 'local accounts', they just won't have
access to domain resources.

 

1: Right click on My Computer and select Properties.   Go to the
Computer Name tab.  Click Change....

2: Switch the radio button from Workgroup to Domain.

3: Put the name of your domain in the domain box (in this case,
accessd.net), click Ok.

4: You are prompted for credentials to join the domain (domain\adminuser
+ password)

5: So in this case accessd\administrator (and a password) click Ok

6:  Walla, we're done, click ok, ok, and then you'll be prompted to
restart. 

 

Notice that when you log in (remember to hit the Options button, to set
the domain to accessd (or whatever you named your domain)), that it
creates a new profile....and if you open Windows Explorer, the drives
you mapped in login.bat are there.  You are now on the domain!  

 

Now, you can setup roaming profiles....this will essentially store your
desktop on a network server.  In a business environment it can be
resource intensive, but in a home environment, it might be nice....so if
you try it out and like it, post a tutorial please!

 

Next up, fun with Active Directory!
