Hi there, I recently had to have my computer name and domain changed, however
would still like to boot up using my original computer name and domain. Is
it possible to maintain two different sets of computer names / domains?
Currently, I can log onto my machine using one user id and can map to a
location using my other user id on my original domain, however I would like
to know if one could switch between these two profiles, to make things easier.

Meaning, your computer has been joined to a new domain, and had a name
change in the meantime.... right?

and domain.

I don't know what that means exactly (especially regarding the computer
name....you can have only one). What's the relationship between the two
domains?

Your computer can belong to only one domain at a time (or workgroup). There
are third party products like NetSwitcher & MultiNetworkManager, but I don't
use them (and am not sure they're officially supported by MS). What you're
doing now is the way I do it ....and I have only one Windows profile to deal
with.
