I have a laptop that is used in several offices, each
having its own Windows network domain (Win2000 Server,
SBS 2003) as well as a home workgroup environment. Is
there a way to set up Windows XP Pro to have multiple
user accounts, each set up to connect to a different
domain? I also want to use the same profile for all
(desktop, my documents, settings, etc). I now have the
latop configured to join one workgroup and one domain in
separate user accounts however when I try to create a new
account that joins to a different domain (while I am
logged in to Windows in the first domain but connected to
the network of the new domain, I get the error "cannot
establish trust relationship with the network
controller". Maybe there is an easier way to achieve the
multiple domain connectivity without the multiple
accounts, I'm open to suggestions. So the question is, is
it possible and if so what's the procedure?
Thanks in advance,
RMD
