Same Laptop different domains

[Jamal Mubarik]

Hi All:

During the course of my work I have to logon to many different doamins of
WIN2000 and WIN2003 Servers. Is there an easy way to achieve this than
changing in the network setup and rebooting changing . Can different
profiles be used for different doamins. I do not think each profile can have
different IP address.

Please advice.

I thank you for your time.

Till now one COMPUTER can be member of one domain at one time, profile is user settings or hardware settings.

You need to use third-party software. I have heard good things about
Netswitcher, and also the multinetwork manager from Globesoft. Google
for the urls.

Jamal:

If you only need access to domain resources, you might consider not being a
domain member.
To do this, make sure you logon to your portable via a domain user acct in
the current domain.

BTW, I use XP Home to do this. Home can use ISA's clients and most domain
resources (including Exchange). Home cannot use domain GPO, roaming user
profiles, and login scripts.

You should definitely have a look at "Mobile NetSwitch", I have been using
it for a long time, it works great and is really to-the -point, no bulky
installation like Multinetworkmanager or old-fashion interface like
netswitcher, see http://www.MobileNetSwitch.com

Not joining the domain may not be an option. Many domains are set up
so that any computer hooked into the LAN must be a domain member to
use ANY resources within that domain.
