We have some laptos with Win XP Pro that's work into our
network (AD with Win Server 2003). However, in some cases,
we need to logon on a client network. How I can do it and
don't lose my original configuration (such as a perfil
network system)?

How to access different domain without changing the network settings

To use a laptop to access to different domain without changing the domain
settings, logon local machine (instead of domain) using your domain logon ID
that also are created on your local computer. If it is possible, you may
create the same logon id and password on all domain so that you always are
able to access the domain you are connecting to. Also you may want to create
one batch file like logon.bat with domain logon ID and password to map
network drives.

Hi,

In some cases, I don't have a equal environment in all
clients and in my 'base'. For example, in many clients, I
have a workgroup with a DHCP server, and in others I have
just a workgroup without a DHCP server, in witch all
assingments are manualy.

In realy, i need to setup a perfil network for some
clients, but using a default perfil to our network. May I
do it or another type of internetwork architecture?

I manage different config by creating several BAT files which calls NETSH.
For example

@ECHO Ethernet configuration XXXXXX
@NETSH INTERFACE IP SET ADDRESS "YourConnection" DHCP
@NETSH INTERFACE IP SET DNS "YourConnection" DHCP
@IPCONFIG /ALL

or

@ECHO Ethernet configuration for YYYYYY
@NETSH INTERFACE IP SET ADDRESS "YourConnection" STATIC 9.0.0.2
255.255.255.0 9.0.0.1 1
@NETSH INTERFACE IP SET DNS "YourConnection" STATIC NONE
@IPCONFIG /ALL

These programs let you store multiple network configurations and
switch between them easily:

NetSwitcher
http://www.netswitcher.com

MultiNetwork Manager
http://www.globesoft.com/mnm_home.html

Before installing or using them, check with the administrator of your
network and get that person's OK.
