Right now I don't have the server in the network where the client computers are located, and when I tried using <a href="http://connect" rel="ugc">http://connect</a>&nbsp;I got page not found error. &nbsp;I still am in the process of setting up the server, so I may not have all the components setup yet for the <a href="http://connect" rel="ugc">http://connect</a>&nbsp;to work yet. &nbsp;So, I said to myself let me add the computer the old fashion way as described above. &nbsp;

Definitely run through all the steps for configuration. &nbsp;If you are using static IP for the machines, set their primary DNS to point to the Server IP and add WINs to their entries, as well.<br />

I conducted a clean install of SBS 2008 x64. &nbsp;I would like to can I simply add workstation to the domain as normally done with Windows Server 2003 AD? &nbsp;What I mean is I normally go to: &nbsp;System Properties, Computer Name tab, select Change to &quot;rename this computer join a domain, select Domain, enter the domain name, enter the Domain Admin credentials, select yes twice, and reboot. &nbsp;I would think this would work without a problem. &nbsp;I just don't know if the new workstation will appear in SBS Console.
