Hi,
I have a Windows 2000 server with AD installed. When I joined (and I was
able to join) a Windows 2000 Pro workstation to the domain I needed to add
a domain user to the power users group.
I used the snap-in to open the power users group, click to add the
domain user , which it saw, and when I try to finalize it I got the
following error:

(Suppose the user is "WS1")

Processing of the object ws1 failed with the following error:
The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted

Remember, I logged onto the domain with this workstation and was initially
able to click on this domain user?

Anyone?

Steve

try to add the user using command line tool NET.EXE here's how
NET.EXE LOCALGROUP "Power users" DomainName\UserName /add
