2. I reboot then i try to add user account but it gives me an error, I found a solutions something like this:

Edit the Default Domain Policy and navigate to:

Computer Configuration/Windows Settings/Security Settings/Account

Policies/Password Policy

Then make the following changes (the password legnth one if optional but I

included it in case you wanted no restrictions at all):

Disable Password must meet complexity requirements

minimum password legnth - 0

Then go to the command line and type:

gpupdate /target:computer /force

Is there no additional details why the user cannot join the domain?

Can you find anything in the Event Viewer, at the time when the user tried to join the domain?

I will move this topic to the Networking Board; it has a bigger chance to be answered over there.

"Your computer could not be joined to the domain because the followwing error has occured.

Access Denied."

Have you set up DNS on the Widndows 2003 Server? I believe the setup utility tries to have you configure DNS during installation if it is not detected, but I think that can be overridden.
