How can I join Windows XP Home Edition
to Windows NT Server 4.0 SP6
when I right click my_computer
click properties
computer name
change
then i don't have an option to change it to domain
whereas in windows XP Professional edition you have that
 
If you had read the pages where the difference between XP
Pro en XP Home are discussed, you would have known that
you can not join XP Home to a domain. Even it is a Windows
2000 or Windows 2003 domain.

You have to upgrade to XP Pro.

I'm sorry, but XP Home Edition can't join a domain or log into a
domain. Only XP Professional can.

It can connect to a domain and access domain resources. For details,
please see these sites:
