I am attempting to join a Windows Server 2003 SP2 server to a Windows 2000 domain. I receive this error: The following error occurred attempting to join the domain "domainname": The account is not authorized to login from this station. I have googled and found the following document: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/281648 But this refers to joining a Windows 2000 Server to a NT4.0 domain. Can anyone help?
