Can a client be a member of two domains at the same time?

[Sam]

Hi,

Is it possible to put two NICs in a client machine and make it a member of
two completely separate AD domains simulatenously so that it can access both
networks w/o rebooting?

Example
NIC #1: IP: 10.0.0.1, Domain: abc.com
NIC #1: IP: 10.10.0.1 Domain: xyz.com

Correction:

NIC #1: IP: 10.0.0.1, Domain: abc.com
NIC #2: IP: 10.10.0.1 Domain: xyz.com

By mistake, I defined both network cards as NIC #1

No. A computer can belong to only one domain/workgroup at a time.

True. But with MultiNetworkManager from www.globesoft.com you can join that
computer to several domains/workgroups. It is easy to switch to another
domain and it will reboot your computer and apply the necessary settings.

Yes, true - I've never used it nor known anyone who has, though, so I don't
generally recommend/mention it. I'm a big fan of keeping things as simple as
possible...and it's so easy just to map a drive!

You know me! And I'm using it for quite some time now. I have several
clients all with their own domain, so it is a big help not having to set all
those things manually, but let MultiNetworkManager do it. It also enables me
to have all my emailboxes offline.

Good to know - thanks for the informal product review.
