Can anybody give me some pointers on how to add a Solaris 8 server to a Windows 2003 domain? I need client desktop PC's (Win XP Pro) to login to the Solaris 8 server using (Help please) either something like PC Netlink/Exceed (?) and for the Solaris 8 server to be a member server of the Win2003 domain. Many thanks.

If you are only trying to access the server as a file server why dont you use SAMBA ?
No client installation is requiered.

Will the solaris machine need to use domain authentication for the logins, allowing windows client access without further username / password checking? Download the latest samba. Use and kerberos 5. You will need to get information regarding the pdc. Here is some information about linux. Solaris will be similar.
