Finally, a hack that actually works to connect MCE to a domain! Thank you!!!!
Thanks for the walkthough Aaron. I'm still having trouble adding my node to the domain. I'm trying to connect to a Win 2k3 Server with no luck. Keep getting the message that the domain i'm trying to connect is not available.
I, too, am encountering a difficulty in which I am being told "Access is denied."
Any thoughts?
has anyone else had this problem or found a solution? I'm also try to connect to a Win 2k3 server and getting the domain not found error. I'm wondering if its related to the AD tools missing in the administration menu...
This is commonly caused by incorrect DNS information. Be sure your Domain controller's IP is listed in DNS and you should be able to join.
I've done this for many new builds - However in case where you have newer Chipsets and SATA Raids the Recovery console will blue screen on you (BSOD) this is because the cmdcons folder dosent have the right drivers to load the drive, in these cases I Use UBC4WIN ("google it"or other bootable cd run OS) and copy the file system as nessecary
Geoff,
Is there anyway you could go into more detail of how to use the UBC4WIN CD to copy the file system as nessesary to get the Recovery console to stop blue screening (BSOD)! I don't know what to do to get past step 7. At boot memo select Recovery console. Thanks, Kevin
heyy.....i've got a toshiba qosmio laptop.........n i m continuously getting the BSOD saying the unavailable hard disk.........in BIOS there is no option to disable native SATA..........plzzz tell me how can i get rid of BSOD??
I did the same as your but failed as installation the winnt32.exe, it required they XP CD key, I entered the key (genuine key) but it did not agreed. Could you please help me more about it? I am using Toshiba laptop model A105-S4014.
THANK YOU
Fantastic - worked like a charm - did exactly what it said on the tin !!!!! - cheers...........
Your a star dude - worked fantastically - great solve to a royal pain in the bum from BG on MCE5. Thanks dude you rock!!!! Miketheman
my MCE2005 has been working fine for years. Does anyonye have a solution for "vista home premium"?
i am also looking for a work around to join home premium to a domain any help would be great
If you are having problems getting into the recovery console, get your Windows XP CD-ROM or a Win2K3 CD-ROM and boot from it. From there you have a chance of getting into the Recovery Console. Hope my tip helped!
I installed ISA 2006 Client in my Boss' Laptop with Windows XP Media Center. But it can not detect ISA Server.
All other computer were setupped Windows XP Pro SP2. They operate very well when I installed ISA 2006 Client, they dectect ISA Server in my conpany network. Can you help me: How can I config ISA 2006 Client in my Boss' laptop to dectect ISA Server. Thank you very much!
Worked easily. My network card came up disabled for some reason, and the join to domain gave a 'no controller found' error. Enabled the NIC, and then redid, and it worked effortlessly to my SBS 2003 r2.

I need to joing W XP Media Ed to domain and when I try the hack above I get as far as
"Type (without quotes) and press enter: 'copy SYSTEM C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM' " at which time I am told that copying systems directories in sot supported... Any ideas of a workaround? Help Most Appreciated...
Hi
I am Hieu. I am Vietnamese. I have a version windows vista home basic. I want Join a domain. you can help me. Thank you very much
Sorry - you cannot attach a vista home product to a domain. I had this problem and had to upgrade to Vista Business to get it to attach to a domain.
Just wondering if there is a simlar workaround for Windows 7 Media Center. At one time I had my Vista Media Center working in the domain.. and the upgrade to 7 kept it there. But now I have a fresh MC install, and I can't get it to work.
