XP login to Multiple Domains

[Hunter Pieper]

At the School I work at one of the campuses uses a
seperate domain for some students.

XP workstations seem to only allow logins to one domain,
and the local computer. If we join it to this other
domain, then we get the choice of logging into the other
domain and the local machine...

Is there a setting somewhere which would allow the machine
to keep a list of both domains?

so that the login box might show under the domain listing:

Domain-A
Domain-B
Local machine

I can't seem to find anything on this...

Regards

Can you set up a trust between the domains? That would give you the
choice....

There is no native way to do what you want otherwise. However, you can log
into domainA with cached credentials and still access resources on DomainB
by providing the appropriate DomainB credentials.

There are third party solutions such as NetSwitcher, but I prefer to keep
things simple.

Hi, Hunter. What you want to do is get third-party software. Many people
have said the Multi Network Manager from Globesoft (www.globesoft.com)
is very good.
