Is it possible to use the same profile on my XP Pro
Laptop for multiple domains, and also from a domain to a
workgroup?
If so, how do I configure it?

Thanks
 
Hi Greg-

I am not certain on this, but I suspect your best bet will be to use a local
profile, and use "Stored User Names and Passwords".

Here's what you do:
1) Click Start, Control Panel
2) Open "User Accounts"
3) Choose the local account you want to use, or create a new one
4) Select that user, and choose "Manage my network passwords" from the pane
on the left
5) Click "Add"
6) Put your settings as follows:
Server: *.forest.com (for example, *.microsoft.com)
User name: domain\username
Password: ******
7) Repeat steps 5 and 6 for each domain you want to add

As well, when you are prompted for credentials, you can check the box for it
to remember your password; then it's stored and you won't have to do it
again until your password changes. Also, you could set it specifically for
certain shares, ect. You might be able to use your primary domain account
for this, and set the stored passwords appropriately.

Here's some more information if it helps:
