Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1, Windows Server 2003 with SP2

To specify the workgroup or domain name

During Setup, in the Workgroup or Computer Domain dialog box, choose whether your server will be in a workgroup or in a domain.
Specify the workgroup or domain name.
Continue with Setup.

Notes

To avoid name conflicts, the computer should be unique on the domain, workgroup, or network. If this computer is part of a domain, and it contains more than one operating system, you must use a unique computer name with each of the operating systems that is installed. For example, if the computer name is FileserverNT when the computer is started with Windows NT Server 4.0, the computer must have a different name, perhaps FileserverNew, when it is started with Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition. This requirement also applies to a computer that contains multiple installations of the same operating system.
For more information about the requirements for joining either a workgroup or a domain, see Related Topics.

Your server might function differently based on the version and edition of the operating system that is installed, your account permissions, and your menu settings. For more information, see Viewing Help on the Web.
