I'm studying to pass the MCTS, and I'm a beginner, so this may be a moronically simple question, but I can't seem to get the correct domain name for a CREATE LOGIN command, i.e.

CREATE LOGIN [domain/user]
FROM WINDOWS

I created the user name in the Local User and Groups File in Computer Management. Then I used the server name which is clearly listed in the Object Explorer. When I tried to complete the CREATE LOGIN command, I got and error message that the server name was not the correct domain name. I double checked with the @@SERVERNAME function, and got the same server name.

I originally thought that the sever name and domain name were one in the same, but assume now that's not the case.

right-click My Computer, click Properties, Computer Name. Does it show a domain name? If not, you can click the network id button to join domain.

Also, it's Domain\user not Domain/user
