I have attempted to change the name on a computer running NT. Upon restart and attempted logon, I get the error that the primary domain is blank.

I have entered the DOMAIN name. In windows 2000, I had the option to enter the primary suffix. I can't find the same option in NT. Is there a way to do this or is this not even the problem.

HELP!

You said you changed the name? Did you remove the workstation from the domain? Here is what you do. Remove workstation from doamin. Change the name. Add to the domain with the new name and reboot.

To enter a primary suffix in NT 4.0, you go to Start, setting, control panel, network, TCP/IP protocol, properties...,DNS tap, under Domain Suffix Search Order you will type your primary first, and then the rest of them in the preferred order.
