Domain List at Log on

[John Watson]

I am transitioning a group of computers from one Domain to another. It
would be helpful if I could have each computer have access to either domain
at logon by selecting the appropriate domain at logon. Unfortunately, the
Logon domain list only shows one domain and the local computer. To get to
the other domain, you must go to systems\computer name\network id and follow
the wizard. This happens on windows 2000 machines too.

How can I get the logon menu to display all available domains?

You probably want to post this in one of the server groups, but I
believe the only way to do that is to set up a trust between the
domains. This would need to be done on the domain controller(s) for the
domain.

A computer may be a member of only one domain at a time. To enable
computers in one domain to access resources in another domain, create
trust relationships between the two domains.
