Windows Server - Problem connecting Win 7 client to Win 2000 server
Asked By whitesmith

Hi everyone,
I am trying to connect a Win 7 laptop to a Win 2000 server. On the
server side I went into Domain Management and was able to add the
workstation user's name to the list of existing users. When I tried to
add the laptop itself, I found the domain name grayed out. I looked
all over the place and never found a spot where this information is
added. Been years since I worked with 2000 & thought the domain name
goes in automatically in a simple network with no subdomains. And yes
I tried all this with domain admin privileges.
Many thanks to anyone who can help.

Hello whitesmith,
If you like to add a windows 7 machine to a domain, make sure the machine
has the proper ip configuration, please post an unedited ipconfig /all from
the server and the WIndows 7 machine, so we can verify this.
If you add a user account in Active directory users and computers even using
the same name as used on the Windows 7 it is still a complete different one.
A domain user account has nothing to do with the local user account from
Windows 7.
Best regards

Starting Win2000 from the C: Prompt Windows Server Starting Win2000 from the C: Prompt Windows98 can be started from the C: Prompt and Win2000 dual booting.

SBS2008 + Windows Vista and Windows 7 user profiles Windows Server Hi All, In the olden days when we used to do a server changeover to install the newly loaded server with all the users setup anew in the active directory and then exmerge the mail from the old server and reimport it into the new users profile placeholder was removed the 'ProfileList' in the registry. . .
