"Max" asked Is it possible to add a Vista system to WinNT domain?
Jeff Warren answered Yes, assuming it is Vista Business or higher.
*********************************
You can add XP pro to a domain, but not XP home.
So unless Microsoft has changed its policy, which they could do at any time and without notice, you would expect
Workgroup Only Vista Basic Vista Premium
Join to Domain Vista Business Vista Enterprise
What about Vista Ultimate. Can it be joined to a domain? Isn't it suposed to have everything that both Vista Premium and Vista Business have? Is Vista Ultimate "higher" than Vista Business?

Yes, Vista Ultimate can be added to a domain. -- Tom Porterfield

I tried connecting it to my NT 4 Domain in VM Ware, but I got errors reporting somethings wrong with either the username or password. So, its no guarantee it will connnect to a NT 4 Domain, but I have had succcess with 2000 Server and Server 2003, haven't tried Longhorn Server yet, later today. :) -- Andre Windows Connected | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta "Todd" wrote in message

Thanks Andre
And that leads into another question I was going to ask:
What is the Vista (Longhorn) server going to be called?
Will it be Server 2007, or something else?
Also, an NT 4 server domain will not support a Vista workstation, but will a Longhorn Server domain support an NT workstation?

I don't know what Longhorn Servers final name will be called, rumors (just rumors now) have suggested either Windows Server 2007 or Windows 2007 Server, I guess we will know by BETA 3.
I haven't tried NT 4 on Longhorn Server, will let you know later. -- -- Andre Windows Connected | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta

Hi Andre,
It might be worth checking NTLM vs Kerberos and SMB signing. I assume you were trying to join it form the GUI?? I would suggest trying it from NetDom and make a note of the exact error. You'd need both accounts DOMAIN\AdminGuy and MACHINE\Administrator and their passwords. Make sure DNS suffixes are correct too and that name resolution is working.
