xp Home using domain authentication

[akrich]

I was wondering if XP Home had the same ability to have
users authenticate in a domain enviornment. IE im
upgrading my office network from windowsME machines
authenticating on a nt domain was wondering if I could
use xp home or if I have to use xp Pro.

Hi,

Unfortunately it is not possible to join WindowsXP HE to domain... For this
you will have to use WindowsXP Pro.

Here are listed some additional differences between HE and Pro Edition.

Thanks for the information, I had guessed as much after
another couple of hours of messing with it just wanted to
make sure. Well off to the store to buy pro.
