Thanks nichomach! My boss is convinced that you can change the domain name and i'm sticking to the idea that you can't cos surely if you could someone would have written something about it other than the fact that you can't change it.
i successfully managed to add a computer to the domain so i'm feeling a bit happier and the terms you explained were really helpful, i'm getting completely lost with all the words they use in the manuals and on the software itself, least its only 15 mins to go before the weekend starts
