Xp/Samba

[Carl Yost Jr]

If it is home version, you can go into Control Panel, User Accounts, choose Change way Users Log on/off. Take the check out of use Welcome Screen. This is will force the Classic NT Control Alt Delete to logon. Make sure you know the admin account password though :). This way you can create a new account for the domain, or add the current users info from the domain to the laptop. Once he logs with the correct username/password he should be able to see the domain shares no problem. I do it at home with one XP Home box with simple Net Use commands in a batch file to map drives from the Samba domain running on my Sun box. Remember though Windows XP can not login to a domain like XP Pro can.
