Re: Multidomain membership - NO Trust

One other thing you might consider, Susan, depending on how your client machines are configured. This is a perfect scenario for running VirtualPC (or VMWare) and using a standalone VM for the second login. The machines stay separate, and users don't have to reboot to connect to the second network. Usually all that's required on most machines to be able to support a VM that way is additional RAM on the client machines. You still need an XP license, and you still need a separate network connection, but your overall productivity could be substantially better than having to reboot the machines to change domains.

Good point on the NetBIOS names - I'd forgotten that piece!

Thanks!

I would probably use a separate network for the other domain, but you should be able to do it this way. You _will_ need a second XP license for each machine that dual boots, so keep that in mind.

Also, make sure you keep the NetBIOS names different on the second domain if you don't have a second physical network for it. Otherwise you have problems with WINS.

Good morning all,

New project coming up, I need to set up another domain that only 3 or 4 users will be able to connect to. This domain can NOT, for security reasons, have trusts with any other domains (which helps, seeing as SBS isn't going to let me do a trust anyways!). Any-who, these 4 users will mainly logging in to the SBS domain for daily stuff, but occasionally logging in to the other domain for project purposes. (They will not need any email or internet access when connected to the new domain, it's simply for a secure database project)

I plan on setting up their machines as Dual Boot where one XP install will be a member of SBS domain using DHCP network address of 192.168.0.xxx, and the other XP install will be a member of the new domain with a static IP network address of 10.0.0.xxx

This should work ok, right? Assuming, of course that the new server is also set to the 10.0.0.xxx network, I can keep them all on the same switch, no?

TIA,

SusanV
