Domain

[myron21]

My password on outlook has expired (I should have changed it before), it keeps asking me to type a new password, but it also asks what my domain is. How can I find out what my 'domain' is. Thanks in advance.

If this is a home PC you probably dont have a domain. Most people who work at home are not part of a domain.

If it is a work PC you may be part of a domain but if so you need to check with your IT support people.

If it is a home PC, and you are being asked for a domain, Windows may be set up incorrectly.

I do not want to confuse you but usually home PCs are part of a WORKGROUP and not a DOMAIN.

Who set the PC up for you ?

Give us more idea of what the PC is and we may be able to help.

What version of Windows, are you on a network, is it a home or work PC.

If you are using Windows XP you may be able to find out if you are in a DOMAIN or WORKGROUP as follows.

1) From the Start menu open the Control Panel

2) Double click on Network Connections and a window called Network Connections is opened.

3) On the Advanced menu select Network Identification and a System Properties window opens, on the Computer Name tab.

This tab gives you the computer name and domain name.

4) There is a "Network ID" button which can be used to check or change WORKGROUP or DOMAIN names.

DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING IN HERE UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING.
