The domain must already exist. OK, that is quite possible i guess. English is not my first language, so I obviously missed that. Thanks. Now I can stop banging my head on the monitor over that issue. :-) Well, that aside. I still can't join the new domain to the forrest and I suspect this might have something to do with my attempt to use precreate. Does someone know how to undo precreate or work around it to join the domain anyway? /Dan ================================== To Unsubscribe, set digest or vacation mode or view archives use the below link. http://thethin.net/win2000list.cfm
