Joining XP Pro w/s & NT4

[Guest]

Hi
Everytime I try to join the domain using the Network ID option under System properties I receive the following error message

Your computer could not be joined to the domain because the following error occured
The security database on the server does not have a computer account for this workstation trust relationship

The username and password is all setup on the NT4 box, always has been. We recently upgraded to Windows XP Professional. I saw the link to that article in the thread below but was no help

Hi -

In addition to a user account, an XP Professional
computer requires a machine account on the domain. If
you contact a domain administrator they can set up the
machine account so you can log on to the domain.

Hope this helps -

You contact a domain admin to create the account. If you
are a domain admin, you use Server Manager to create a
domain account for the workstation.
