Hi,<br />
<br />
The company just bought the Assus Desktop Computer (With Windows 8) in it. It is CM Series; the model is CM6730<br />
<br />
The Goal: I want to join this computer to the Domain, but seems that the Domain is “greyed out”<br />
<br />
My questions:<br />
<br />
First: How can we check the version of this Windows 8? (I am not sure whether we have some versions of Windows 8, such as Enterprise Version, Ultimate version, etc)<br />
<br />
2nd: Do you think that I can join to the Domain for this Assus machine?<br />
<br />
Thank you<br />
<br />

Win 8: Joing to Domain

Windows 8 is a personal computer operating system developed by Microsoft as part of the Windows NT family of operating systems, with an emphasis on improving its user experience on tablets. In particular, these changes included a touch-optimized Windows shell based on Microsoft's "Metro" design language, the Start screen, a new platform for developing apps with an emphasis on touchscreen input, integration with online services, support for USB 3.0, Advanced Format hard drives, near field communications, and cloud computing. Additional security features were introduced, such as built-in antivirus software, integration with Microsoft SmartScreen phishing filtering service and support for UEFI Secure Boot on supported devices with UEFI firmware.
