Good morning all... Which version or versions of the new Vista OS will
join/authenticate to a Windows 2003 domain. I have been trying to find a
definitive answer but have been unable to do so. Thanks in advance.
 
Just a word of caution...
I've twice tried to join Vista Business to our Win2003 Domain. Everytime I
have, after reboot, I loose the ability to connect to the network as it
seems critical services fail to start up (seems like permission/security
account changes, but not sure!). I've yet to get a definitive answer from
anyone as to why this happens.
Just a warning!
Dave
 
Have you disabled the firewall in Vista?

Check your DNS settings, you may be pulling some bad info. Post what your
system logs say, check the logs on the DCs too. I'm using a desktop and
laptop on two different 2003 domains (different desktop and laptop) with no
problems at all, RC1, RC2 and Business Edition, never had a problem joining
or logging onto the domain, with the firewall on or off.
 
Hello,

Thank you for using newsgroup!

From your post, I'd like to thanks Jeffrey for his input. Windows Vista
Business, Enterprise and Ultimate support domain join for Windows Server.

Thanks & Regards,

Ken Zhao
