Sorry if this has been answered before but I have some new machines at
school with XP Home and want them to join a network which is already set up
with some other Win 98 machines. I didn't realize that the Home XP was not
really meant to be used on a domain so have been racking my brain to find
out how to do it. I've found a utility called X-Setup Pro that says it can
do this. Can anyone run me through the setup please?

Thanks a lot

Joining the Domain is straight forewar
Create a User on the Server and give it a passwor
Join the New User to any relevant Group
Create the same User and Password on the Client P

Join the PC to the domain (You will be asked for the Administraors Username & password for permission to join the domai
Map any required Shared Drives or Directories and you are in busines
