How to add the PCU to a domain
Requirement
Only a user with the corresponding entitlement, e.g. a domain administrator, can add a PCU
to an existing domain.
Domain Controller (DC)
A domain controller (DC) is a server for central authentication and authorization of
computers and users in a network. In a network with a domain controller, several computers
are combined to form one domain.
Proceed as follows
To add the PCU to a domain:
1. Select: "Start" → "Settings" → "Control Panel" → "System", "Computer Name" tab.
Default: The PCU belongs to a "WORKGROUP" and is not assigned to any domain.
2. Click "Change ...".
The following dialog opens:
Figure 2-2 Add PCU to domain
3. Enter the name of the domain to which you want to add the PCU.
4. You will then be asked to log on as a user with the corresponding entitlement to conclude
the process.
