Adding a computer to a domain

[Jason]

I'm playing around with domain server and want to know the setup for adding
a computer to the domain and so at login it shows the domain name in the
third box after username and password, and so that the user is authenticated
through the domain server. I have admin rights.

how do I go about doing this? Do I need to do anything at the domain server
or just the PC?

On the workstation, go into System control panel and look at the Network
Identification tab. Click Properties and type the name of the domain (**not
the name of your server, but the name of the domain... you chose this when
you ran DCPROMO on the server and installed Active Directory**)

You will be prompted for an account that has permissions to join the domain.
For example, your domain admin account.
