Domain name not found in local user and groups location tab

[gchandrujs via WindowsKB.com]

Hi,

I connected a PC from workgroup to a domain. Its a big network and i am
sure that there is no problem in the server side as we are using around 1000
PCs in a single domain. Also, the pc i connected in the domain is a new
installed windows XP SP2.

After connecting to a domain i tried to add a domain user in the
administrators group in that PC through Local User and Groups
by Right clicking the My Computer and clicking the Manage button.

When i opened the Administrators group in the Local User and Groups and
clicked add button, it shows only the local PC name in the Locations tab.
When i clicked the Locations tab it is showing only the local PC name. The
Entire Directory and Domain name name is missing in the Locations tab.

What could be the problem. Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Regards,
Chandra.

I really can't tell what could be the issue here, but can you try to add that
user by typing it's fqdn. (username@domainname)

Check your TCP/IP configuration on client computer. DNS server should point
to your AD controller internal LAN IP address.
