Malke,

Actually there is a very specific reason why MCE 2005 can't join a
domain (MCE
pre-2005 was domain compatible). MCE Extenders, which lets you share
content
all over the house, require Fast User Switching. FUS is not
compatible with domain membership.

Thanks, Chuck. That makes perfect sense. And of course, why would you
want a media-enhanced PC to be a workstation anyway? I appreciate the
information - thanks again.

P.S. - You are my networking hero! Awesome work!
