Using a laptop on a domain and in a workgroup

B

Bjorn

I have a laptop that I need to connect to a Domain in my
nr. 1 work and than I have a work nr. 2 and there I need
to connect to a workgroup. Is this possible without
changing "Member of" (Domain/Workgroup) in system
properties? It is very bad to have to change this every
time and to restart the computer every time.

Please help me,

Bjorn.

There is no way.

Recommend you keep the domain settings and 1) manually connect to resources
when the laptop is home and 2) to simplify and address possible access
issues make sure each machine in the home has the same user name/password
that you have for your domain laptop.
