Okay, more details on this one. Here's the error:
Your computer could not be joined to the domain because the following error
has occured:
The account used is a computer account. Use your global user account or
local user account to access this server.
I'm getting that with whichever user I try to use. Any help would be great.
Again, I have tried following the PDC howto, but not much luck so far.
Thanks,
Scott
