I thought that the multi-media edition was built on an XP-Pro chassis.

I'm trying to join a computer running multimedia to a domain at work.
I cannot get the button "Network ID" to work. It is always grayed-out.

Can someone please point me in the right direction.

THanks,

The multi-media version is known as Media Center Edition. Media Center
Edition 2005 has all the "domain" features removed for it. So it will not
join a domain. Other than this, is based on XP Pro!

Frank,

XP MCE 2005, with its Media Extenders, can't join a domain per Microsoft design.
But what Microsoft can engineer, others can hack. See this thread in BBR
Forums, where some guys claim success getting around the MCE / domain issue.
