Hello: One of my users has Windows Vista Home Premium. I want to add the
computer to my domain hosted by Windows 2003 small business server. I cannot find the feature to add the computer to the domain. The usual location is the "Computer name" tab of properties of "My Computer" in Windows XP Professional. I am new to Windows Vista. Thank you, Mark |

Hello, Julio.
There is a sentence in the windows field that reads, "Windows Vista home premium cannot join a domain." Which version of Windows Vista can I purchase to join my domain?

Well Mark,
the best version may be de Ultimate, it has all the network gadgets of XP with the exception of netware networks, so if you have a netware system it is better to stay in XP. This XP Ultimate is the one I have and works OK. BRegards, Julio. "Mark S" wrote in message ... Hello, Julio.

That's right Mark,
I really don't know if Home edition has all the network posibilities that Ultimate has, so if you could still choose a version, it is better to have the Ultimate Edition for any instance that may occur. If there is any way I can help you do not hesitate to contact me. Best Regards, Julio "Mark S" wrote in message ... Hello, Julio. Did you mean that I should purchase, "Windows Vista Ultimate"?

Home Premium is not for joining a domain!
You need Business or Ultimate. Just buy an upgrade disk; not a full retail disk(save some money!) I would suggest Ultimate as Business does not have Media Center.
