Multiple Domains

[theguru97321]

I am and IT admin for 3 different companies. Each company has their own Windows 2003 Server w/ related Domain Names. In order for me to login to the domain when I am onsite, I have to join the domain, and re-login. I'd like to be able to just choose from the login drop down what domain I'm logging into. Is there a way to do this??

The only way to do this is to setup trusts between all three domains. Other wise try logging onto your laptop with cached credentials from the domain of your choosing and then just connect to the other domains with net use/providing credentials for whatever you try to connect to.

Isn't there a way to add the other Domains to the registry so you can pick which domain you want to logon to in the Domain List at logon?

Not that I've ever seen or read. Only way according to Microsoft that I've seen. If you see or know anymore I'd love to hear as we deal with this too at times.

At one of old clients (HP), they have like 5 wans, and all the domains are on a list, that they can choose when you are about to login. They were using Windows 2000 Pro, and probably some other software for the connection, I don't know what it is though. Ever seen that?

New to me but if anyone knows I would like to hear about it.

I thought NetSwitch would allow you to choose different domain credentials...

Ah so it's a netware app. That's why I don't know it I guess.
