XP and domains

[PW]

Can a machine running WinXP home addition join a network
domain? There only appears to be a Join Workgroup option
in the computer name properties. And clicking change does
not bring Domain option up.

Windows XP Home Edition was not designed to join a domain.
You'll need to upgrade to Windows XP Professional if you need
to join a domain.

Difference between XP Home and XP Pro networking
