<!-- BBCode Start --><B>Cannot Join Windows XP Client to a Windows NT Domain[b]
<BR>The information in this article applies to:
<BR>Microsoft Windows XP Professional
<BR>
<BR>This article was previously published under Q314366
<BR>For a Microsoft Windows 2000 version of this article, see 258832.
<BR>
<BR>[b]SYMPTOMS</B><!-- BBCode End -->
<BR>You may not be able to join a Windows XP Professional-based computer to a Windows NT 4.0-based domain. When you attempt to change the domain membership for the Windows XP Professional-based computer in the Identification Changes dialog box, you receive the following error message:
<BR>
<BR><!-- BBCode Start --><B>Network Identification:</B><!-- BBCode End -->
<BR>
<BR>The following error occurred validating the name "domain name".
<BR>
<BR>The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted.
<BR>If you attempt to use the net view command from the Windows XP Professional-based computer, you receive the following error message:
<BR>
<BR>System error 53 has occurred.
<BR>
<BR>The network path was not found.
<BR>If you attempt to ping by name from the Windows XP Professional-based computer, it does not work. You can ping by IP address.
<BR>CAUSE
<BR>This problem can occur if both of the following conditions are true:
<BR>NetBIOS over TCP/IP (NetBT) is disabled on the client computer.
<BR>The TCP/IP protocol is the only protocol that is installed on the client computer.
<BR>RESOLUTION
<BR>To resolve this issue, enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP (NetBT) on the workstation. To do this, follow these steps.
<BR>
<BR>NOTE: You must be logged on as an administrator or a member of the Administrators group in order to complete this procedure. If your computer is connected to a network, network policy settings may also prevent you from completing this procedure.
<BR>Click Start, click Control Panel, click Network and Internet Connections, and then click Network Connections.
<BR>Right-click the network connection that you want to configure, and then click Properties.
<BR>On the General tab (for a local area connection) or the Networking tab (for all other connections), click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), and then click Properties.
<BR>Click Advanced, click the WINS tab, and then click Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP.
<BR>
<BR>NOTE: If the DHCP server provides the NetBIOS settings, you can click Default: Use NetBIOS setting from the DHCP server. If static IP address is used or the DHCP server does not provide NetBIOS setting, enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP.
<BR>Click OK, click OK again, and then click Close.
<BR>NOTE: If network configuration requirements make it impractical to enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP (NetBT), you may be able to work around the issue by installing a new protocol, such as NetBEUI, on both the Windows XP Professional-based client and the Windows NT-based server.

<BR>To join a Windows XP Professional-based computer to a domain, follow these steps.
<BR>
<BR>NOTE: You must be logged on as an administrator or a member of the Administrators group in order to complete this procedure. If your computer is connected to a network, network policy settings may also prevent you from completing this procedure.
<BR>Click Start, click Control Panel, click Performance and Maintenance, and then click System.
<BR>On the Computer Name tab, click Change.
<BR>Under Member of, click Domain, type the name of the domain that you want to join, and then click OK.
<BR>
<BR>You are prompted to provide a user name and user password to join the computer to the domain.
<BR>Click OK to close the System Properties dialog box.
<BR>
<BR>You will be prompted to restart your computer to apply your changes.
<BR>NOTES:
<BR>You can also use the Network Identification Wizard to join a domain. To use the Network Identification Wizard, follow these steps:
<BR>Click Start, click Control Panel, click Performance and Maintenance, and then click System.
<BR>On the Computer Name tab, click Network ID, and then follow the instructions on your screen.
<BR>It is recommended that you use computer names that have 15 characters or fewer. If your computer has TCP/IP networking protocol installed, the computer name can be up to 63 characters long, but the name should only contain the numbers 0-9, the letters A-Z and a-z, and hyphens. You can use other characters, but doing so might prevent other users from finding your computer on the network. If your network is using the Microsoft DNS server, you can use any characters except periods. If other networking protocols are installed without TCP/IP, the name is limited to 15 characters.
<BR>If you specify a computer name longer than 15 characters and you want longer names to be recognized by the Active Directory domain, the domain administrator must enable registration of DNS names that are 16 bytes or more.
<BR>If you rename your computer or workgroup when it is disconnected from the network, duplicate computer names might result. Check with your network administrator before you rename your computer.
<BR>For more information about NetBIOS over TCP/IP (NetBT), please refer to RFCs 1001 and 1002.
