Jeff,
Just remembered that joining a domain is easy. However after logging off
and then logging on, you need to logon with the VPN connection active. At
the three fingered salute screen, check logon using a dial up connection,
and you need to have the VPN set for anyone to use (IIRC). Sometimes it
gets a bit messy at this step. I can't remember the exact sequence, but I
think given a certain sequence it will reject the VPN as a dial up
connection during a logon, but then on the second try it accepts the dial
up/VPN connection.
If you have problems with this part, post back and I will try to figure out
the sequence and nail it properly. I only add a box to a domain
infrequently, so I usually muddle through it, but you needing the sequence
will cause me to add the process to my "how to" folder.

Jeff,
I haven't had any problems joining a XP Pro box to a NT4 domain when I am
VPN into the network where the domain is.
I wouldn't think that the domain flavor would matter, I have always
thought
being VPN is as good as being wired into the network.
YMMV, test first, all the usual disclaimers.

I have a interesting question, regarding joing new workstations to a
Windows 2003 domain.
I am setting up a new workstation for a client's network, I doing this
at my offices, the network the workstation will eventually live on is
at a different location. In order to complete the setup, I need to
join the workstation to the Active Directory domain at the client
site.
In the past I have always just got as far as I could at my office,
then spent a couple of hours finishing the setup at the client site
after joining the domain locally .
It would be a lot easier if I could join the computer to the domain
remotely and compete the setup here, and then just take the
workstation to the client, plug it in and go.
I do have a pptp vpn server setup at the client site, but it is not
running on a Windows server, and is using local authentication.
What I want to know is, has anyone ever tried joining a Windows XP
workstation to a domain remotely via its own pptp vpn client, and what
if any gotchas they ran into?
Thanks,
Jeff
Thanks Other Jeff,
I will give it a go, and post the results here.
Jeff
