Hi,

I'm migrating my XP Pro machine from an NT4 domain to a Win2k advanced
server domain.
All of the file sharing permissions on the XP Pro client were set properly
inthe NT domain, ie.
user/local machine and user/domain privileges were set.

In the Win2k domain I have no option to set domain user privileges. When
I try to add new
permissions I see no option in the "location" field except for the local
machine. There is no
entry for the new domain. I have tried using both an enterprise admin login
and local administrator
login - both show only the local XP machine as an option.

What am I missing ?

You have successfully joined the machine to the domain and are getting a
proper domain logon? You'll need to be logged in as a domain admin to assign
local permissions to domain users. Don't confuse share permissions with NTFS
security. You need to add the domain permissions on the security tab (and
make sure "simple file sharing" is disabled).

It could be that the domain member can not contact a domain controller which
is often a DNS issue. Make sure that there are NO ISP DNS servers listed as
preferred DNS servers as shown via ipconfig /all. I would also run the
support tools netdiag and dcdiag on your domain controllers looking for any
pertinent problems and also check the logs in Event Viewer for the same. On
the domain workstation run netdiag and check the logs. Error or warning for
userenv are usually an indication of a problem finding a domain controller.
