Re: How to connect a Vista Client to the domain?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

XP does a better job of allowing Pass Thru Authenication (PTA). In Vista the goal was to make it more secure, so, in otherwords, isolate a workstation that simply comes up, plugs into your ethernet and wants to try to access resources. Longhorn Server will enhance this "network" quarantine even further.

I have Vista Ultimate connected to SBS, its not a problem to do, several have outlined the procedure, and it will allow access to the resources then

Not sure what I'm missing
You have a vista workstation, you joined it to the domain, and now the user
that's using the workstation, is connecting to the workgroup and not the
domain.

And now you can't get to certain resources?

I have a vista workstation. I have not joined to the domain, because there is
no wizard to do that yet, and I don't really want to do all that is in the
manual procedure. Aforementioned vista cannot get to domain resources, like a
home page on an intranet site, even though the user on the workstation has the
same name as a domain user; and has the same password. In contrast, a
different workstation, using WinXP, where the user logs into the workgroup
account, not a domain account, but the workgroup account has the same name and
password as a domain account, and that user can reach the domain resources.
[Parse that if you can. I recommend diagrams with dependent clauses slanting
off to the bottom, etc.]
