Domain vs workgroup

[Guest]

I am using a laptop that connects to a domain at work, and a workgroup at home. Is there a simple way of having an alternative startup.
I find it very inconvenient to log back on to the domain as the computer have to restart again. The best would be to be able to choose whether I need to connect to the workgroup or the domain as I start the pc.

Hello Runar,

Unfortunately there is not a simple way to do this.

You can try to configure your workgroup at home to be having the same
name as the domain at work and also use the same passwords and usernames.

Just log into the domain with cached credentials, and then connect to
resources in your workgroup by providing the appropriate credentials for the
remote/host computer.

net use x: \\pcname\sharename /usercname\localaccount

should do it....or you can use Windows Explorer, map network drive, if you
prefer.
