How to...W2KPro with 2 NT4 Domains

Recommended Posts

Hi there, I am a newbie to this board & the NT World. Hope all of you can bare with my "Junior" question... smile

Anyway, here is my question. Is it possible to have my W2KPRO become a domain member of two Domains without reconfigure it every single time? For example, when I'm on the logon screen, my drop down menu will list out all the domains that I have in the office, so I can select it.

 

Thanks so much for your help!

 

regards, Mugen C

Depends what you undestand by "domain". The Microsoft idea of domain is different than the usual networking domain concept. If there are two MS domains, then you have to have a trust relationship between them. Tell me more details first...

I believe he means that there are two separate domains that he would like to be able to log into, without going to "my computer" , "properties", and changing the domain settings each time.

 

The trust should not be an issue, for example, if i bring my client computer from my home network to a friend's place, can i set up Win2k to have both domains on the drop down menu?

As long as you have already joined (and have accounts) on those domains with your computer, when you log on to it using |ctrl alt del | at the log on screen, there should be a drop down list of the domains you can log on to .

 

It should also display the last user name and domain that was accessed, and you will need to type in your password for the last one. If you select the other domain or local computer at log on, then you also have to type your user name and pass.

 

Novell has done this so much better, by giving a drop down list of all the context's you have logged into and what user name you used. MS stole Active Dir from them, they should have taken more of it while they were at it.
