Cannot Join Domain During Setup with Dial-Up Networking

 Last reviewed: March 27, 1997
Article ID: Q155018
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0
  • Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

When you are installing Windows NT 4.0, if you choose to connect to the network using Dial-Up Networking and you choose to join a domain, Setup tries to start the network and register the computer on the domain. However, Setup does not dial the modem to connect you to the remote network.

CAUSE

Windows NT cannot set up the Dial-Up Networking session at this point in Setup.

RESOLUTION

To work around this problem, set up your computer as a workgroup. Once Setup is finished, establish a Dial-Up Networking connection to the network and join the domain.
