My office domain is NT4, but I have a windows 7 laptop. I've been told that I won't be able to log on. Does anyone know a work around for this?

They're planning to upgrade to Windows 2003, but that could be a little while.

Windows 7 cannot joint an NT4 domain.

The only solution would be to join the domain from within XP Mode.

So, you can go into XP mode and connect to the domain from there? – Shane Nov 19 '09 at 21:31

Windows 7 is looking for an Active Directory domain, which NT4 does not have. It is not supported and I don't see any sort of patch available. The lowest possibility is a Windows 2000 Active Directory domain. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it looks like you'll have to wait around for Win2K3.

Microsoft made it virtually impossible to join a Windows 7 machine to a NT 4.0 Domain. So your best bet it is either to boot in Win Xp mode or wait on the Server 2003.....Sorry.
