....wife uses VPN to connect to network from home to work.
Logon was changed [yikes!]to 2 panel WORKGROUP logon but
I need to get back to 3 panel DOMAIN logon. When logging
in she is only connected to Internet but no network. I
cannot change logon to a DOMAIN since there is no network
to authenticate her. Is there a way to force a DOMAIN
logon without authentication? ...or use the cashed login
profiles in registry? help!
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\winlogon

If the PC still has the domain logon selection then she can
log in with her usual account/password. The system will
accept her credentials based on cached [cashed?] information.
If somebody removed the domain login facility by placing
the machine into a workgroup environment then she will
have to ask her network administrator to re-register the
machine on the domain.

Thanks. I was afraid of that. [re-register with domain]
