After You Have Joined a Domain

When your computer reboots, you will get the standard Welcome to Windows dialog box that prompts you to enter Ctrl+Alt+Del to bring up a logon dialog box. Click Options to access the following choices:

  • Username—A field for entering a username.

  • Password—A field for entering the password associated with the username.

  • Log On To—The drop-down menu to select to log onto the local computer, which will be listed by name followed by the text This Computer, or to log into a domain name you can choose by using the down-arrow. If you want to log back on using a local account on the Windows XP computer, then choose the first option. If you want to log onto the domain, use the menu option and select the domain.
