Figure 19-38 Active Directory Users and Computers

• Builtin (sic) This is where all the built-in domain groups are stored,

such as Domain Administrators and Users.

• Computers Every system from servers to workstations are listed in

this folder.

• Domain Controllers It’s always a good idea to have more than one

domain controller in case one goes down. This folder lists all of them.

• Users This area stores all the non-built-in users for the domain.

Domain Administration Just as individual systems have an administer

account, the domain also has domain administrators. The accounts are

extremely powerful and enable you to join a computer to a domain. Certain

domain jobs require domain admin rights. Here’s how to deal with adding

and removing computers and users from a domain.

To have a computer join a domain, use the System Properties dialog box

like you did when changing a workgroup name. Access the System applet

and click the Change settings link in the Computer name, domain, and

workgroup settings section to open the System Properties dialog box. Then

click the Network ID button on the Computer Name tab to reach the dialog

box shown in Figure 19-39. Make sure you have access to a Domain account

that can join the domain!
