hi all, i have done a fresh install on a laptop and am trying to add this laptop to our domain. for some reason the 'member of' (in the system properties) is greyed out. I have tried installing the additional extra's on from xp cd but no result. Would anybody know why this may have happened and what can be done to sort this out???
