| Is there a way to access Domain when Loggin in Locally? Is there a way I can access shares on a Domain? I know this is a long shot.
Another question. I have a computer, that has lots of files and programs installed. I hook I log on the computer using a domain account... But now I can't use all my files an programs I had b4?
How would i access all my locally stored files and programs when I log into the computer using a domain?
Thanks fellas. | |

| As long as the computer was joined to the domain or you're in the workgroup with the same name then you should be able to get to the shares. You can either browse with the UNC path or use the net use command to connect to the shares... with the net use command you can even specify a username and password to connect with. You also have the option of mapping a network drive from the tools menu in Windows Explorer and 2k or XP will let you connect using a different username and password. Otherwise, as long as the username and pass you're logging in with locally has permissions in the domain you should still be able to get to those shares with just entering the UNC path of the share into the Run box or the net use command.
Also, if you've logged into the machine with a domain account and can't run programs etc, then you need to add your domain account as a Administrator on the local machine. Just log in as the administrator, open the Computer Management Console and go to Local Users and Groups. Under groups choose Administrators and add the domain account. If the domain accounts are not showing up in the Add box then you may need to specify your primary DNS number on the local machine as a server that's running active directory... You should then be able to add the domain account as a local Admin... Reboot and you're back in business.
Hope that helps... | |
