Client Security using the Domain

Hi,

I have a domain all setup and running fine, recently we added a new client
machine to the setup and it has a couple of folders that will be shared but
only yo certain people - however when I go into the security tab it only
shows me the local computer and not the domain name to grabbed the user list
from.

Why? (baffled tbh lol)

All the other client machines logon to the domain but do so from the startup
screen option of logging in as their own local machine i.e. mypc(This
Machine) and these machines use the domain for the sharing security, really
curious why this one machine has decided no too.

Thanks in advance.

Your statement, "All the other client machines logon to the domain but
do so from the startup screen option of logging in as their own local
machine", is sort of contradictory. You say they are logging into the
domain, but that is not so if they are choosing the option to log into
the local machine. Have you joined the new computer to the domain? You
will not have the option to log into the domain until the computer is a
member computer. I suspect this is your problem. Also, this new computer
is an Windows 2000 Pro or XP pro, right? (not XP home). XP Home
computers cannot participate in a domain.

Yeah, is a bit misleading after re-reading it...

The machines logon locally, but they are all joined to the domain once the
startup is completed.

I found the problem, I had not set the dns ip correctly cos I had been
working on the machine prior to it joining the domain. Once changed it had
access to the domain to implement the needed security measures to stop most
users accessing it.

Thanks anyway :)
