Problems making a desktop part of a domain
Hello,
I am experiencing an issue with making a desktop part of a domain. TO do so, I have right-clicked on the desktop's My Computer icon, selected Properties in the menu displayed, clicked on the Computer Name tab, clicked the Change button, selected Member of Domain radio button and then entered the domain name. I am then asked for the name and password of an account with permission to join the domain. Since it is not clear to me whether this should be an account on the domain computer or on the desktop, I have tried various accounts. However, I always get the same error message: "Multiple Connections to a server or shared resource by the same user, using more than one user name, are not allowed. Disconnect all previous connections to the server or shared resource and try again." The only shared resource that the desktop and domain controller have is a printer and I've disconnected that from the desktop. There is also the router that connects the desktop and domain controller, but obviously that can't be disconnected. I'm sure I'm missing something obvious...can you tell me what it is? Thanks in advance, Rafael |
