Default Vista Home Premium connecting to a Domain

I have Vista Home Premiun Edition. I have been told that this version of
Windows cannot be directly connect to my office Server's Domain (which is
running SBS2000). Is this correct? If so, what version of Vista do I need
to get in order to connect to a Domain?

Thanks. jdc

Anything above Home... ie. Business, Ultimate, Enterprise.

That is correct...you need Business or Ultimate. Check here for

You can try creating a user in Active Directory that exactly matches the
Home Premium user account and password to see if you can work this way.

I have my doubts - it worked with XP and downlevel clients, but with
Vista I can't be sure.

Other than that, you'd need Business, Enterprise or Ultimate to join
and participate correctly in a Domain.

From Home you can go to Ultimate but not Business or Enterprise.

There is no direct upgrade path from Home Premium to Business or
Enterprise.
