How do I join a Virtual Pc to a domain??

I have one PC running Win2003 standard (DNS server), the other PC running WinXP
Pro with VPC2007, Win2003 R2 SP1 installed on VPC 2007. I can see the VPC on
the network in the domain, and I can access the DNS servers C$ through the
windows explorer, by entering domain admin credentials. But when I log into the
VPC server there are no domain login options. I only have a local login prompt.
In a previous post someone suggested that I needed to join the virtual PC to the
domain. I am not sure how that is done. But it wasn't anything I needed to do
when I logged in on the XP box, that automatically displayed the "Log on to:"
option???

The computer running in the VM to all intents and purposes is another
computer and needs to be joined to the domain. Make sure it is set to use a
domain DNS server then follow the instructions in this link.

aaoooooohhhhhhhh!!!! Of course I knew that, and I thought I had done that, but
I see that the system had set itself up with the same domain name as a workgroup
name... all set now... thank you...
