Setting Up Windows Vista for Domain Login
You can enable domain login on a Windows Vista computer by joining it to the
Windows domain of a Mac OS X Server PDC. Joining the Windows domain requires the
name and password of an LDAP directory administrator account.
You can delegate this task to someone with a local administrator account on the
Windows computer. In this case, you might want to create a temporary LDAP
directory administrator account with limited privileges. For more information, see
User Management.
Note: Only Windows Vista Ultimate and Business edition can be connected to a domain.
To join a Windows Vista computer to a Windows domain:
1 Log in to Windows Vista using a local administrator account.
2 Open the Control Panel, then open System.
3 Click Change Settings.
4 Click Computer Name, then click Change.
5 Enter a computer name, click Domain, enter the domain name of the Mac OS X Server
PDC, and click OK.
To look up the domain name of the server, open Server Admin on the server or an
administrator computer, select SMB in the Servers list, click Settings, then click General.
6 Enter the name and password of an LDAP directory administrator and click OK.
