When logging on to a NT SERVER 4.0, I ONLY HAVE THE OPTION OF SELECTING A DOMAIN, THERE IS NO LOCAL COMPUTER NAME TO CHOOSE (EVEN WHEN CLICKING ON THE DOWN ARROW). CAN I GO INTO THE REGISTRY TO FIX/ADD IT?

You dont have that option if the server is a pdc or a bdc.
You can only do that with member servers or workstations.

Hope that clears it out.

Hi,

NT Domain Controllers do not store local account database, only domain one - that's why you can't choose to logon to local computer. What's more you can't fix it in any way (well, you can reinstall NT as member server but I doubt you really want it). This is by design.

Good luck,
Ivan
