WIN XP PRO Multiple Domains?

[Eddie McGlone]

Hi all, apologies if this is too stupid or has been asked before.

I have a need to log on to different domains at different times but XP only
shows one domain and the local workstation in the "Log on to" dropdown in
the logon dialog.
To change from one domain to another, I have to change the settings in My
Computer, Properties, Network Id and then re-start the machine, even
although all the logons, profiles etc. for my different users are still
stored locally.
Is there any way to make this quicker/easier - ie extend the drop down list
to include all previously logged on domains?

Hope someone can help.

Cheers

Ed

Hi Ed
I have been struggling with a similar problem, My research
seemed to be saying that you should have the lap top set
up in a workgroup, but give same username and password in
both domains as well as the local user on the laptop, this
worked fine for domain rescouses on the domain controller,
printers and files ect, but this did not work for member
servers in the domain, I had to go to each server and set
up a local user on the member servers and then it has
worked fine,I have also work slightly differently on
another lattop, by leaving it set up for one domain and
replicating its username and password on all servers in
the second domain and is seems to be ok....hope this helps
