NT to XP Home - No Go

Does anyone know whether or not we can connect a new "E"
Machine running XP Home Edition to our network server,
which is running NT4?

Of course, the salesman at the BIG Store said such a hook-
up would be, "No Problem!"

Did he lie?

Thanks,

Bob
 
You can't join it to an NT4 (or any) domain, since that's a restriction of
XP Home. If you could do that, everyone would be running their businesses
on XP Home rather than XP Pro.

The best you could do would be to use the same username/password combination
on the XP Home box as you do on the NT domain. It's a cludge -- OK for the
short term, but if you're really intending to use it for business, use XP
Pro.
