Re: Server login via LAN...

When you say AD server do you mean a Domain Controller? If so no, you can't
login with a local account with the exception of the recovery account that
boots up in during restore mode.

If you want to login to a workstation locally then it would be the same as
logging into the machine as a workgroup member. You would create a local
account and specifiy and login time to use the local account credentials
(SAM File). You can specify by either entering the workstation\user name or
select the local workstation in the log onto drop down box.

I need to know if there's a way to login to an AD server (Windows Server
2003
Enterprise Edition) without logging into the domain.

For example, wth a Netware client, I we can set our local workstations to
not automatically login to our Netware servers on startup. Instead, I can
simply login or logout, via shortcut, at any time I desire.

Is there any way to accomplish the same sort of activity between
workstations (Windows 2000 Professional) and the AD server mentioned
above?

Thanx.
