Re: How to Add New User to Join Corporate Domain in Windows 7

Hi,

I have a problem with my enterprise installation of Windows 7. I work for a very large enterprise (60000+ employees), who are currently running a limited (25 installs) pre-pilot test of Win7. I an on the program, so have installed Win7.

The problem that I have seems to be related to domain profiles. When I installed Win7 I named my computer correctly for it to sit into AD (it had been created before hand) and set my username as my LAN username in AD. When the install had finished, I joined the ads.xxxxxxxx.com domain and could access the internet/email etc. through the network.

I noticed a few problems such as not being able to install networked printers, so after some searching found out I hadn't joined the domain properly. So, I signed out of the profile I had created at install (I used to log in with COMPUTER_NAME/USER_NAME) and logged in again with no domain and my username.

This time I could access network printers etc. but found new problems such as Adobe Reader not working. Apparently this is caused by roaming profiles.

No one else has these problems.

I am going to reinstall Win7, so do you have any idea about what I should do differently to get this working properly with my enterprise credentials etc?

Hi,

I am about to start a project to bring an LDAP client to the iPhone for my degree dissertation. If anyone has any material that could be useful or are interesting in any kind of collaboration please drop me an email: adebee AT gmail DOT com.

Your project looks great, I would love to quiz you on a couple of matters should you find the time.

Many thanks
Ade Bee
