Hello All!!
I know that Windows XP Pro can only be apart of one domain at a time.
However, I am looking for away to have a user authenticate to two different
domains. He is a mobile user and has just been added to management of a
sister company. Each company has their own domain already set up. He exists
in one domain but will be spending equal time at the other business so he
will need access to their resources as well. Is there a "best Practice" for
doing something like this?
So far I have thought of either making his pc part of a workgroup and
making sure that he has the exact same username and password at both
locations. However, I kmow that he needs to still be a part of his original
domain. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

My recommendation is that his username and password on both domains should
be identical. This will do pass through authentication as it tries those
credentials on the other network. This works pretty well and I have used it
before.
 
Will it make a difference if his pc is part of a domain or does it need to
be in a workgroup?

It shouldn't make a difference what domain the PC belongs to. I would leave
the PC in the domain he mostly often uses.
