You need a Domain server. if you have to ask, then you haven't the
technical knowledge.

Please take this question to the windowsxp.network_web newsgroup.

Try using Windows 2000 Server or Windows 2003 Server as a domain controller.
XP Pro is a client OS.

To create a domain, you would need to start with a server operating
system, such as WinNT 4.0 Server (may it rest in peace), Win2K Server,
or Windows Server 2003.

WinXP Pro, as a workstation operating system, is an excellent
choice for a client OS to use on the domain's workstations. WinXP Home,
however, is not designed to, nor can it truly be made to, join a WinNT,
Win2K or Win2K3 domain.

Yeah - well thanks for the benefit of your wisdom! or maybe that is just
reacting to someone who is condescending

Not at all - it's quite a technical business setting up a domain server
- one that you won't easily manage by asking questions in a newsgroup.
