Join Windows 7 computer to a server 2003 domain populated by XP Pro computers
I just bought my first Windows 7 PRO computer and I cannot join it to my Server 2003 domain. I have 70 XP PRO computers already on the domain. When I try to add this computer I get the message, "The network path was not found". If I go to MY COMPUTER and choose the network I can see all of the computers that are running on the network now including the server. I can access files on the server. However, I cannot join the domain. I called microsoft on this issue and they sent me here. My next option is paying them another $200 to help me fix their issue. Anyone?
