I assume you are using XP Pro?
A design feature of XP Home is that cannot join a domain.

The username and password you require is the domain administrator's.

Why use netdom?
Try by right clicking on My Computer and on the Name tab select Network ID and use the wizard to join the domain, it will guide you through the necessary steps.

You might have to try administrator@domain.com for the /ud: switch

and235100

Or indeed - just use /ud:Administrator

Is your network connectivity okay?

Can you ping the server and browse to its shares?

How are you trying to do this? Is this over a local network - or over the web?

netdom probably will only work over the local network.

Have you tried the command from another computer? The syntax is correct - therefore it should work.

Have you tried /ud:DOMAIN\Administrator >?

i use internal network to do that

>>>Have you tried /ud:DOMAIN\Administrator

i think i have problem in my server because i made this command on other server and its work

thanks
