Cannot connect XP Media Center PC client to SBS2003 domain

**driverdownloads** · 22-May-2007, 08:31 AM

Hi. I have a SBS2003 domain with the server running DHCP and DNS (as per the book). All working fine. Joined an XP Pro SP2 pc yesterday no problem. The last pc left not joined to the domain I tried to join today. But using the http://sbs2003/connectcomputer wizard generates an errror ...
The wizard takes me as far as adding the user accounts, and then selecting the computer (users and computer have been earlier added successfully on SBS machine) but as soon as you set the wizard running, stops with an error ...

" Could not configure network settings - please contact your network admin ..."

MY TCP/IP settings are set to find an address automatically, and the first DNS setting set to the SBS machine, and the second to my Linksys router.

Any clues please?

By the way, this pc is the only one running XP Media Centre - is there some clue there perhaps?

You cannot join XP media center edition, or XP home edition PC's to a domain. Must be a professional operating system such as XP pro, Window 2000, or Windows NT.
