Laptop logging into different domains

I have a laptop that I travel to multiple company locations. There is no
trust between domains, and I have to log onto
each depending where I am.

Is there a easy way to logon to different domains on the fly with win xp
pro ?


Thank you

No trusts sounds like a good idea. If it's the same company it's
possible to setp a master WINS server, AD to create trusts like that.

Yes and No.

Yes - Netswitcher

Has been mentioned in 24HSHD
http://groups.google.com/group/24hoursupport.helpdesk/topics
before, try looking.

No - If you need to join a domain you need the account privilege to be
able to join a domain.


Read the notes on the Netswitcher site. It's a simple right to setup but
the domain admins granting you the right is another issue. Note - it's a
Windows issue not a netswitcher issue.

See Q1 and 2 of the FAQ

What about hardware profiles?
If I create another one with a new domain to logon to will the first profile
retain the
original domain ?

 

I cannot physically see a reason how creating a new domain would alter the original one, so I think you should be fine.

Warmest Regards,

What, shudder new criteria.....

What about hardware profiles? Actually more like what about which
hardware profile, Win or Netswitcher? Would guess you haven't tried NS
or NS RTFM yet so you mean Win HW Profile.

You set a per domain profile, you can even select different nics per
profile.

That would be the point of any profile, multiple profiles with different
settings.

It presents them on one menu and allows the saving and restoring of
those setups. No more hunting through the Windows control panels looking
for every last setting that needs to be changed. Now you can just select
a new setup with a click of the mouse, and be off-and-running with your
new connection.

Except for the big warning in the FAQ and during configuration that
changing a domain without domain join rights stops 1 getting back into a
domain.

The bottom line, if the OP doesn't have Domain Admin rights, then the OP
is going to need someone with those rights on the domain to attach his
machine to the network, no matter what domain the OP is trying to
connect the machine too. The OP's not coming around that.

 

Domain admin rights aren't required. There is a user rights assignment.
add workstations to domain. Then again OP didn't say anything about AD
either.

Yes, well if anybody ignores the FAQ and the big warning panel on screen
while configuring NS then they get what they deserve.
