Windows XP Professional Workstation

$\Rightarrow$ Note: Before starting the process of joining a machine in a domain you have to know the username/password of a user who is administrator of the XP machine. Then you can start the migration process.

Therefore you have to:

1. Press [windows];
2. Select My Local Network;
3. Select Network Connections;
4. Right click the icon Local Network Connection and select Properties;
5. Chose TCP/IP in the open window and click on Properties;
6. Chose Get the IP Address Automatically in the open window and then select Get the DNS server addresses automatically;
7. Close the network properties windows.

The next step is to confirm that the machine IP address is the same that was introduced in IPBrick.I. Therefore you have to:

1. Press the keys [windows]+[R];
2. cmd [ENTER];
3. ipconfig /all;
4. Check the information in the IP Address field.

If the IP address is not the one introduced in IPBrick you have to release it and renew it with the following commands:

1. Press the keys [windows]+[R];
2. cmd [ENTER];
3. ipconfig /release;
4. ipconfig /renew;
5. ipconfig /all.

If the machine IP address is right you can join the machine in the domain EMPRESA:

1. Press the keys [windows]+[pause] and open the System Properties;
2. Select "Computer Name", click on "Change..." and give the computer a name (the name must have been created in IPBrick.I before);
3. Press button "more.." and add the dns machine domain: empresa.pt. Do not select the option Change the primary DNS suffix when the association to the domain is changed;

4. Insert EMPRESA in the domain. The password of the domain EMPRESA or of the machine administrator may be requested;
5. Click OK and close "System Properties";
6. Restart the machine. While the machine is starting you can already login the domain EMPRESA.

$\Rightarrow$ Note: The workstation must not be with the DHCP. It can be configured with a fix IP address. In this case you don't have to fill in the field MAC Address while you register the machine in IPBrick.
