Hi:


Recently I've got a NB installed with XP Home.

I found it only has "workgroup" option in the network.

Can anyone please tell me how to add this NB to a domain server, as our
technical support told me it's impossible.

Thanks in advance.


Sincerely,

John
 
You can logon to domain and share the domain resources. Install TweakUI and
change the domain name (from local computer to domain name)

XP Home Edition can't join a domain or log into a domain. It can
connect to a domain and access domain resources. For details, please
see these sites:

I'm sorry, but I don't know what "NB" means.
