adding a new client computer into a SBS 2000 domain

Hi, all,
Please allow me to ask some basic questions. When I add a client compuer
into a SBS 2000 domain, do I have to add a new client computer at the server
first (ie, set a new computer account first) or i should give the work
station a name and let the work station join the domain first? when I first
log on the client computer, do i have to log on as the domain administrator
first? when i add a existing domain user to this workstation, will the user
profile automatically be downloaded from the server when I log on as this
user?

Hi John,

You might have a look at the help file in the node Computers of the SBS
console.
You create a computeraccount on the server and assign applications to it.
Login as a user and make sure the user is a member of the local
administrators group on that computer.
If you have roaming profiles, this profile will be loaded from the server to
the workstation when you logon.
