Windows XP Home AD domain

[tornado579]

Hi group,

I know that Windows XP Home cannont partiticpate in AD domain logons.
But, can they atleat access say documents kept on the file server ?
Will it create any authetication problems since Windows 2003 server
uses Kerberos for authetication ? Does Windows XP home support that ?

Any sort of help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Thanks,
Tornado.

Yes, you can use domain resources with XP Home. The Home user/password
needs to be created on the server. Here's an explanatory link:
