Hi folks,

I was wondering, when WinXP is in workgroup, there is this
awesome feature that allows me to "switch user" (you all
know it).

What I looking after, that when I add the computer to
windows2003 domain, I loose this feature.

I want to use this feature in the domain, so user's that
share computers can leave tasks or job's running after
theyr shift stops and another one logs in and need to use
the computer.

So my question is, is this possible? And if I may be
pushy, can someone please point me in some direction.

Thanks in advanced!

This feature is only available if the computer is not a member of a domain.
