I need to add a domain account as a local user on a XP
Pro computer. I've tried going through control panel,
user accounts, but when I add the user account and try to
log on locally I get denied. What is going on here?
 
Hello,

I think you will be required to enter the "administrator"
or a user with access on the domain controller. Either of
these accounts must be set on the domain controller to
allow the adding of users on PCs as teh PC will have to
access the domain controller.

The "administrator" or a user with access on the domain
controller will perform a bond between the 2 machines
which allows the PC to obtain information regarding the
new user for the PC.

Hopes this helps

Correct to logon to a workstation with a domain user you MUST logon
with a DOMAIN user created on the Domain.
If you want to login with a Local user, then you MUST create a LOCAL
user using Computer Management, Users and Groups.
