Simple question - I hope

I have just installed my 4th Windows 2003 Server.

I joined the domain and am able log in using domain\username, but the logon
dialog does not allow me to toggle between the "this computer" and the
domain. It just shows the "this computer name" and is "greyed out"

I have never seen this before - any idea why ?

Perhaps because you are running a DC?

If you use Domain\Username, or Username@Domain, the domain drop down box is
"greyed out", but it works as if you selected the domain.
