How to add clients in domain advance method used in Company Environments Server side Configurations

In our last article we have added client in domain using default administrator account. Administrator account can be used in LAB environment. But in a real company environment using administrator account for joining or disjoining process create a huge security risk. Always avoid using administrator account for this process. In this article for server side process we would create a special user account.
For this article I assume that
  • ADS is configured on server 2003 and working
  • DNS is configured on server 2003 and working
  • Client computer is connected with Server.
If you miss any of above see our previous articles.
On Server computer Login from administrative account and open Active directory users and computers.
Active directory and computers
Right click on Users folder and select User form New options
new user in ads
In open window fill the user information and click on next

Now create a computer account for client computer. Right click on Computers folder And select Computer from New options

Next step is to grant the access of add client in domain. To do this open domain controller security policy

Now add administrators [group], administrator [Account], and Vinita[ User which you want to grant the access]
