Windows XP logon

[Guest]

We have laptop users at work and when they are in the office I set them up to log into the Domain. When they are in the field I have them switch to logging into the Local Computer (This Computer). This is confusing to them cause they save files to one profile and cant find it when their logged onto another, sometimes there are different passwords, etc;

With WinXP is it possible to just have them ALWAYS log into the Domain even when they are in the field and this will be simpler.

Thanks....

Have you looked into setting up a roaming profile?
