Call it anything you want.

In Windows NT and Windows 2000 networking, the domain controller (DC) is the server that responds to security authentication requests (logging in, checking permissions, etc.) within the Windows Server domain. It is the server that essentially makes networking (at least in a secure function) possible.

You "merely" install a Domain Controller. Of course to do that you must have a Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003 Server on your network. Once you have a server online, you can promote it to be a Domain Controller by using a program called DCPromo. \n\nThere are a host of things to consider when planning a domain. I would not consider setting up a domain to be "simple" :-) - that's what this whole MCSE certification thing is about.

Of course. However, be advised that new domain names can be registered up to 10 years, and existing domain names can be renewed up to 9 years.\n\nCurrent technical rules dictate this. And no one's seeing any legit reason to change it.\n\nDave Zan\nhttp://www.DaveZan.com

If you don't have admin rights from the get go, you will not be able to asign yourself rights. You could try to load in safe mode but that would require some registry editing. I would suggest getting the tech to load for you. TX

Get an external registry editor like registrar it's much more powerful than the microsoft default one. \n\nGet it here http://www.resplendence.com/download/rrtri.exe

Won't happen.  A domain account can have the exact same name and logon ID as a local account and they will not interfere with each other.\n\nIf you have a local account "John" on the machine and look in the Documents & Settings folder, you'll see the profile's parent folder, also called "John".  If you then create a domain account with that name and then log on and off of the machine, and go back and look in the Documents & Settings folder, you'll see a folder called "John.%domainname%" where %domainname% is the name of the domain.\n\nConversely, if you created the domain account first, then "John" would be the name of the domain profile's parent folder.  The local account's profile folder would then be named "John.%machinename%" where %machinename% is the name of the local machine.

First, call Customer Service at your current Registrar and ask them to unlock your domain name. For self-service: Login to your account, find the lock feature, and unlock the domain.\n\nYou must then request a domain transfer from the target host. The target host will email the domain's current  Administrative Contact. The Administrative Contact must click on the link in that email, authorizing the transfer to the new host.

On your desktop there should be a "my computer" icon if not go to the start menu and hover your mouse cursor over the my computer icon, right click the my computer icon and go to properties, from there , there should be a tab called "computer name" click that tab, then go to the button called "change", from there you can rename your computer and it will require a restart. Once you have done that all should be set. I would leave the computer in the same workgroup that it is already in, as you dont need to change that, unless you really want to.

I am sure you can, although I don't know why you would.\n\nGo to any domain registry service and try.

This is really pretty simple.  First you install Windows 2003 Server on your server.  Then you want to run dcpromo on the server.  This will make it a Domain controller.  You will need to make decisions first about domain names and userid conventions.\n\nOnce that is done you simply open Active directory and create the userids you need.\n\nNext you need to visit each computer and add them to the domain.  As long as the computers are Windows 2000 or XP this will force them to sign onto the domain.  I would remove any local sign ons besides the local administrator.\n\n\n5/19: Got your email but can't reply since your address is not confirm.

i will give you instructions, but be VERY careful. the registry, which you'll be using to change the name can be a very dangerous place if you change something you didn't mean to - so be aware.\n\n1. Click Start\n2. Click Run\n3. Type regedit in the textbox and click OK.\n4. Regedit should load. Browse to this registry key:\nHKEY LOCAL MACHINE\nSOFTWARE\nMicrosoft\nWindows NT\nCurrentVersion\n5. In the right panel, double click RegisteredOwner\n6. In the value data field, change the name to whatever you wish\n7. Click OK\n8. Exit regedit and log off or reboot.\n\nas i've said you need to be really careful when using the registry, make sure you follow the instructions to the letter and are only changing that one key value.
