Personally I dislike these kind of articles.<br> <br> Some of the problems the author encountered were down to the machine being connected to an Active Directory domain that wasn't configured very well.... it didn't have a correctly configured DHCP server (as he said), and looks like it had a Group Policy applied to the workstations that was changing the desktop appearance, etc. But he made a big deal about chasing dead ends for 2 hours trying to get the machine on the domain. Any Windows Sysadmin worth his salt would have resolved that problem in 25 seconds. In fact (and I'm not joking either) I saw the very same problem with a client's SBS server this morning. If he had bothered to check Google groups and put in some vaguely intelligent search terms, he would have come up with something in a little less than 2 hours.<br> <br> :)<br> <br> /rant
