Hi there, I bought a new netbook and loaded os 7pro but cannot create a domain of my old netbook. Is there someone that can help me to transfere my domain to the new netbook.

Im not quite understanding your question. What is it exactly that you would like to do or what is it your feel its not doing?

You can't "create" a domain, you can JOIN a domain if you are connected to a server based network.

That is my understanding too. The only thing that could also be happening is that the person (op) might be outside the U.S. and the word "domain" is actually referring to isp instead. Hope we get to find out.

Ok I am currently in the UK but from South Africa joint a domain from the company that I am working for in SA bought a new netbook in the UK so, I need to "transfere or join" my new netbook to the same domain to transfere my files i.e. outlook

There is a wizard that allows you to easily connect to your work domain. It's "suppose" to be quick and easy. (I don't have 7 Pro so I don't know)

Have you tried? Are you receiving an error?

The following video shows how to connect to your domain.

Yes you use the wizard to join a domain. If you need help with this you should be contacting your company's IT department for support.

Yes I have. I also tried to transfere my files to my new netbook but the domain name is not the same how can I change that?

Do you have an IT dept, as this is a trivial job for them to do..
You need Domain Admin permissions anyway.

• Right click Computer
• Properties
• Computer name, domain, and workgroup settings, click Change Settings
• Opens System Properties
• Click Change Buttin
• Check the Domain radio button
• Fill in the details
• From here you need Domain Admin credentials to register your machine on the domain
• From here it's all automated with a few OK's to click.
• Reboot
• Job done.
