How to add or remove clients from domain network of server 2003

In a domain network, a client is a computer where actual works are done by users. All clients are controlled by the server. In our previous article, we have configured Server. Now we need client computers so the user can perform the assigned task.

We assume that you have configured server before starting this process.

Pre-quest of the client process

· ADS is configured on server 2003 and working

· DNS is configured on server 2003 and working

· Client computer is connected with Server.

Once you have completed the necessary steps go on client computer and login form administrator account.

Right click on My Computer and Select Properties In properties click on change button from Computer

· In open window select Domain form Member of radio select pane. And give our server name that is Example.com. It will ask you to authenticate the joining. We will use the default administrator account of the server as we haven't created a special account for this purpose. G

Give the username to administrator and server administrator’s password.

After few minutes a welcome message will appear on screen click on it.

A system reboot is required to take the effect. Restart the system

There are several ways to confirm that the system is client or not. You can confirm on the login screen.
If you see the login to options on login screen means the system is the member of the domain network.
If you don't find any logon to options here means the system is the part of workgroup network

· After login you can check it on My computer properties. Select the computer name tab in My computer properties.

If you see workgroup here mean the computer is the part of workgroup network.
If you see the domain here means the computer is the part of a domain network

Always avoid using administrator account for this process. In our next article we will discuss that how we can deploy other account for this process.
