Can XP Home join a Windows 2000 Domain?
I do not see the option under Network Identification.

Yes, Right click on My computer and go to property. there
you have the option to add to a domain.

Domain membership - Home Edition cannot be used to logon
to an Active Directory domain. For obvious reasons, the
Domain Wizard is also missing in Home Edition.
Group Policy - Since Home Edition cannot be used to logon
to an Active Directory domain, Group Policy--whereby
applications, network resources, and operating systems are
administered for domain users--is not supported either.
IntelliMirror - Microsoft lumps a wide range of semi-
related change and configuration management technologies
under the IntelliMirror umbrella, and none of these
features are supported in the consumer oriented Home
Edition. IntelliMirror capabilities include user data
management; centrally-managed software installation,
repair, updating, and removal; user settings management;
and Remote Installation Services (RIS), which allows
administrators to remotely install the OS on client
systems.
Roaming profiles - This feature allows users to logon to
any computer in an Active Directory network and
automatically receive their customized settings. It is not
available in Home Edition, which cannot logon to an Active
Directory domain.
