Home versions of Windows cannot join domains. You'll need the Business or Ultimate version to do that. -- Zaphod "The best Bang since the Big One" - Eccentrica Gallumbits |

Thank you Home will not connect to a domain. You can still use resources (such as printers) on the network, but you can't connect to the domain. -- Asking a question?

I have 64 bit Vista Home Premium, can I connect to a domain. I see I can connect to a Workgroup, but I don't see a way to connect to my internal domain. Thank you I have successfully connected two computers (one a laptop 32 bit) and the other a desktop (64 bit) both running Vista Home Premium to my office network. I have full access to all network resources, including printers, all file shares (both those on server located drives and other users' shared drives), and can access the server either directly at the office, or remotely using VPN. It's a -lot- harder to do with Vista Home Premium, than it is with Vista Business or Ultimate, and not intuitive at all, but it can be done. It takes a lot more time and some trial and error, but it can be done. Just make sure that you set up your "user account" on Vista Home Premium to use exactly the same ID that you use on your business network domain already (presumably you already have an account on your domain...just use the same one, with the same password). -- jegesq |
