I have created an account "bilal" on workstation (i.e windows 2000 prop)with administrator right. Same user is created on the Windows Server 2000 with Domain User right. When I try to log on server I get an error message "could not access local server" and also I can't run most of the manage options in My Computer.

Try to ping the server see if the connection and tcp/ip are alright. You need to add the computer name(w2kp) in w2ks. good luck.

1. Create the needed user account on the server.
2. Log onto the workstation as the workstation administrator
3. Run the Network Identification Wizard (right-click My Computer/Properties/Network Identification)
4. Join the domain and create the computer account.
5. Log onto the domain with the workstation using the user account name you created on the server.

You don't create the account on the workstation if you have a server.....

Whatever told by jason & Lucid already done. After login I can use the resources of domain. It is connected to domain/server. But message is annoying me. I am not getting anything on workstation only. Server's permission working fine only problem arises for workstation. Even though group policy is also applied to workstation.
