Add your machine to a Workgroup.
Go to c:\Documents and Settings\ and delete the accounts you have created,
ex: C:\Documents and
Settings\Administrator.MYCOMPANY.000, and the original one. Do NOT delete
Default User.

Log off, login in, add the machine to the domain, reboot.

When logging on again use your username and password and voilá!

Let us know how that went.
