Whats required to have a domain in Win XP Pro?

Question

I'm a tech geek and am interested in buying Windows XP Professional and being able to log onto a domain that I want to own. What items are required for this process? I need to know what stuff is needed to create the domain, mainly. I can find out how to log on to it and things like that, but just need info on what to buy. All help is really appreciated. Thanks!

Answer 1

Well the main thing you need is a server thats a Domain Controller. Windows server 2003 or 2008 are not cheap at all, if you want to have an xp with a domain you need to know somone with a server Operating system that will allow you to log on to their domain and become a member or your going to have to make your own. Complete with your own server, Server hardware, which isnt cheap either.
