how to keep using my locally stored domain user profile whil |
|
|
Hi,
I have a laptop that is configured to logon to the domain (Win2k3)
inside the company's network. I would like to be able to keep the same
user profile while I logon to different networks (e.g. home network or
wireless network at my client's office).
Obviously, Windows (I am running XP pro) would complain if it can't
locate the domain controller. But I am sure many coporate users would
like to use the same user profile regardless where they logon to.
Thanks
OM |

If you attempt to log onto your company's domain and XP is unable to find
the company's domain controller, it will log you on with cached credentials;
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;242536
Your profile will not change unles you join a different domain or workgroup.

You could enable XP's fast logon feature. This may not be desireable if you
have a roaming profile or remote home directory on the domain. See:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;305293
Also, you could copy your domain profile to a local user account profile and
log onto the local machine instead of the domain. Logging onto the local
machine also frequently allows you to interact more easily when you connect
a domain member to a foreign network.

Thanks,
Windows will try to locate the DC first and will give up after certain
period of time. Is there anyway Windows can identify where they are
located first before trying locating the DC? That way, I don't have wait
until the timeout reach for locating the DC.

No - you do not want fast user switching, and it is not available on a
computer joined to a domain. Fast logon simply forces the machine to use
cached credentials when logging on. To enable it run gpedit.msc and set the
policy decribed in the article I cited to Disabled.
