What I am worrying about is the problems that the technical people may
have. It seems it will actually add calls to their daily routine help
desk..
What sort of calls?
If the users are part of your organization the number of
calls -- and the need for help -- should be similar.
By having computers in the domain you can easily
grant access for those users when they are on the
network -- reducing calls, and better control) their
systems or offer help when they are connected.
By judicisiously using Group Policies you can more
easily create "standards" that make the Help Desk's
job easier.
If Help calls are the issue (and you somehow think
removing them from the domain will reduce these)
then why not just remove all of your user machines
from the domain, and not just laptops.
But thanks for the advice.
Leaving them out of the domain is likely a half-baked
idea.

Hello all,
I wonder if it is wise to put the laptops in our windows 2003 domain.
Practically all business do include the laptops for users
in the domain.
Most of the users have laptops and they mostly travel to places where
we do not have the domain set up. But the journeys are mostly less than
2 weeks.Do you think it is wise to add them to domain?
Yes. (Almost always this is better and seldom worse than the
alternative.)
Once a user logs on "at the domain" (location) they get Group
Policy AND the ability to logon with "cached credentials"
even as they travel.
When they return to the net, they get updated group policy and
have access to whatever domain resource the domain allows
them.
They can also be easily granted both dial and VPN (e.g., from
hotels with broadband Internet access) access to the domain
and again to resources even while "traveling".
It also prevents the users from having to have TWO accounts,
one for the laptop and another for when they are "in the office."
What practices/ rules should I follow in setting up their accounts?
What concerns you about giving the laptops domain computer
accounts?
