XP MCE and domains

[Guest]

Older Windows XP MCE connected to domains, even after being upgraded to
Windows XP MCE 2005.

Does anyone know how to make Windows XP MCE 2005 attach to a domain, even if
it means disabling MCE 2005 features.

For us the abilitiy to login to our domain far outweighs any MCE features.
We bought a couple of MCE 2005 machines because we needed machines right away
and the only machines in the retail stores that had enough power were MCE
2005 machines.

Yes, we could buy Windows XP pro and downgrade the machines, but we would
rather make registry changes etc., if possible.

Thanks for any help.

My understanding is that if the MCE machines were not set up to join a
domain at their installation, they can't. AFAIK there is no "registry
change". Whether we agree or not, MCE was not designed to be in a
business environment. Wipe the boxen and install Pro.

Hi Malke:

I was hasty posting my question. I should have read more posts from others
first.

I have found my registry edit and do not need change the OS or re-install
anything.

For others looking of the same info, please google "IsLegacyMCE" to find the
needed info.

thanx
