Add new computer to server with domain
First the background information:
Network has server 2003 using domain "xyz.com". The computer that needs to be added was previously connected to server, with username/password already in place. (computer crashed and was reformated)
I have went into the computer properties and changed it from "Workgroup" to the domain "xyz.com". This allows the new computer to "see" the server and access files, but for some of the programs to work, this computer need to "login" to the server.
Originally this computer at bootup would ask if you wanted to join the "domain" or the normal "workgroup". Now it just boots with no options.
I have tried with no success to use the "Network Identification" wizzard to force a "login" for this PC.
Can someone please provide me with some "detailed" instructions on how to perform this??
Thanks!!!!

Try renaming and rejoin to workgroup. tHen rename to other than the original -when it was on the domain- and rejoin to domain. You are using the "Change" button under computer name?

Unfortunatly I was not the one that reformatted this PC, so I am not positive on this answer, but I am guessing that it was named differently.

jerrypd,
When you state "delete the computer name from the domain" do you mean on the PC that I am adding?

Had network engineer fix this for me.
If so, you need to delete the computer name from the domain, then rejoin the computer to the domain via the My computer properties...
