Can anyone point me in a direction to get some info on this or help me along with it.

I have taken over as computer administrator of a small buisness and they had me build 3 new computers for them. The problwm i am having is adding the three new computers to their server domain.

The server is running windows 2000 server edition.

How do i add the three new computers to their domain?

Contorl Panel, System Icon, Computer Name Tab, Change Button. Enter details for Domain and click OK. Enter Domain Admin credentials when prompted and reboot.

I just wanted to point out that coins' instructions were for the client pc's not the server.

thanks seadave, amazing how often you forget the important details when you're used to doing it :-S
Open up Active Directory Users and Computer on the Domain Controller and right click on the domain name and click Find. Search for the group Domain Admins. Anyone who is a member of that group will be able to add the new computers to that domain

'Active Directory Users and Computers' is listed under administrative tools in the control panel or Start menu. To add the computers follow the instructions in my first post on the computers themselves not the domain controller
