Windows 7 VM to join company domain

Post by chraindre »

Hi,

I would like my Windows 7 guest to join my company's domain but when I try to change the "Computer/Domain Changes" settings in the System Properties panel, the "Member of - Domain" portion is disabled (see attached picture).

Host: Latest public version of Mac OS X Lion
Guest: Windows 7 Home Edition 64-bit
VM Networking Settings: Bridged

I can access the company's wireless printers and servers but I cannot add my Win7 VM to the company domain. How could I enable the domain section of the attached picture?

Please let me know what other information you need and if you have any solutions!

Thank you.

I think you're not gonna be able to do it. The VM has Windows 7 Home? The "Computer Name/Domain Changes" box says Home editions can't join domains.
