Windows Vista Home Premium Question

CentralViking19 · 10-20-2007, 04:28 PM

i just got windows vista home premium for my desktop and when i go into the system properties i can't connect to a domain, just a workgroup.

any ideas?

sorry but home premium (i think , i maybe wrong) doesn't have the tools to connect to domains. it was made for home use only
Try ultimate or business

cheers

I know Windows XP Home 32-bit cannot connect to a domain. You have to have Windows XP Professional 32-bit to connect to a domain.

Windows Vista Home Premium may likely have the same issues.

It's probably because Vista has a lot of problems. I would agree with waiting for the service packs to come out, because there are still a lot of problems with Vista at this present time.

No guys, it's not because of buggy Vista or whatever you would like to call it... IT's a DISABLED Feature b/c you bought for HOME use.....

That's right. You CAN enable Aero, however.
