Is there a way that I can add accounts to my existing domain using NT workstation? Currently I am only able to add local accounts using Workstation, but I would like to be able to add accounts to the domain.

As long as you're logged on to the domain and have add workstation rights you can run "server manager" from any workstation in the domain. Some admin have been known to drop programs like this into a hidden share.
You mean you want to be able to run User Manager for Domains (usrmgr.exe), not the local user manager (musrmgr.exe , I believe).
You have several options:
1. Install the server tools from the NT4.0 Server CD to your workstation. Files are found in x:\Clients\Srvtools\Winnt
2. Donwload off of the web: <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q173673" target="_blank">Windows NT Server Tools for Windows NT Workstation 4.0 Available (Q173673)</a>
3. Find a PDC, BDC, or even a member server, goto the share \\servername\admin$\system32 (must have admin permission to attach to the admin$ share), and search for usrmgr.exe, and for that matter, srvmgr.exe (server manager), and copy them to your workstation. If you copy the files to your %systemroot%\winnt\system32, it can be accessed easily from the run command in the start menu. Or, wherever you put it, create a shortcut on your desktop for easy access.
errr ya :p Well, if you want to add computer accounts just follow my advice.
