XP joining NT 4.0 server hosted domain...

[grativo]

Hi. I'm trying to setup a network with NT 4.0 sp6 server with XP
clients. When I try to set up the clients, I get "The security
database on ther server does not have a computer account for this
workstation trust relationship". How do I resolve this? The computer
can see each other just fine...

If you are going to be a system administrator - you must learn to utilize
Google and other search engines (local site searches, etc..) You may have
done this, but you did not indicate you had done/tried anything in your
post. The more information you give - the more focused replies can be.

Search using Google!

You can't join your Windows 2000 computer to a Windows NT 4.0 domain due to
the lack of a computer account?
