Comment: We have a 2003 network with DC and clients, I am puzzled at why I can join our domain with a xp machine with any domain users if I logon locally as admin then join domain by just typing in any user in the Ad, I thought I have to have domain administator rights to join the machine to the domain controller and not just a domain user. Is there some settings set wrong?

Reply: Can you check your Domain Admin Groups? Make sure that Domain Users are not a member of Domain Admin.

Reply: make sure your primary DNS IP address is pointing to your main DC, where LADP is located at? but before that, make sure you can ping it before trying to join your XP machine to the DC...

Reply: I have checked, the domain user group or the user I have use to join the domain after I log in as local admin of the client machine is not a member of anyone and the DNS is pointing to our DC, so maybe it is suppose to be able to join the domain since I am the admin of the local machine?
