I think this may be a case of misconfigured DNS. Your workstation needs to have a way to "Find" the domain controler to join that domain. Looking at your log shows that during your install it cannot find the domain controler for your domain, I would suggest that you configure your ip settings to utilize your local domain DNS server. (Instead of your ISP's dns server, as a guess)

If you are using an unattended install file you can add the following to it [TerminalServices] AllowConnections=1 If your using a Active Directory domain you can make a group policy that specifies each user or group that is allowed.

Since allot of users here use the $oem$ file hierary to customize there instulations I figured I would share my method for adding items to the SendTo folder. And there is alot of information on this site regarding how to utilize them, since this is a very small part of there vast funtionality This is the directory structure I use on my RIS server (can also be used with CD, flashdrive, or network install sources) \$OEM$ \$OEM$\$1 <--- contents copyed to %systemdrive% \$OEM$\$1\Drivers \$OEM$\$1\Runonce \$OEM$\$$ <--- contents copyed to %windir% \$OEM$\$$\INF \$OEM$\$$\SyStem32 \$OEM$\$Docs You have two options as to where you may want to add your files depending on your desired end result \$OEM$\$Docs\AllUsers <--- Use for Allusers using this computer \$OEM$\$Docs\AllUsers\Sendto \$OEM$\$Docs\Default User <--- use for adding the settings to a user profile (that has not yet logged on to this computer) \$OEM$\$Docs\Default User\Sendto \$OEM$\$Progs <--- Copied to the Program files Directory \Textmode <--- RAID driver files go here It is also required to modify , change or add the lines as follows to your winnt.sif, ristndrd.sif, unnattended.sif or whatever file your using [Unattended] OemPreinstall = YES Acually if your not joining a domain you may add your own username (instead of AllUsers or Default User) under the $docs Directory so you can prepopulate your sendto items into your profile witch may be what your desireing specifically, I was not really sure since you indicated "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\SendTo" as your desired location. I hope this helps Erik
