Travel between two networks with different Windows Domains

D

Dave

I have a couple of useres that connect to a Windows
network running a domain at thier leased offices in
another city. However when they are in our headquaters
they often need to connect to our network running a
different domain. The dance of changing domains is very
tedious and the users are not power users so we need to
send a network tech to connect them each time.

Question: Is there any way for users with Windows XP Pro
to connect to two different Windows domains without
having to "Rejoin" a each domain each time? Possibly
with "Alternate" settings in the network connection
dialog that has static IP info for secondary domain.

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.
