Windows xp pro - currently in a workgroup want to swap to domain
Windows server 2003 - Active directory just re-installed DNS

I tryed to connect the computer to the domain with the old domain and every time it just said:"The specified server cannot perform the requested operation"

I re-installed the active directory on the server including the DNS.

I am trying to connect using the Administrator account on the server with the administrators account on the xp computer. What am i doing worng and if any what settings have I missed?

On the xp computer I put the name of the domain in (HOME) and clicked the 'more' button and put in 'HOME' aswell. Installing the domain I named it domain.home.local and netBIOS as HOME. the xp computer reconises the HOME but not domain.home.local when i put it in the domain box.

If someone could give a bit if time to do a step by step guid how i can get this to work i will be very greatful! - I just cant get this to work.

Thanks for all answers

(Im new to servers so if you start saying things with commands or DC... please explain them.
