Mulitple Logins to different domains

[Guest]

Is it possible to setup a Windows 2000 Pro for logins to mulitple domains?
I use a laptop which gets logged into different domains, and everytime I join a new domain all my account settings are lost. Is it possible to be able to have mulitple domain profiles using Win2K?
thanks in advance?

Not natively but there is a product called Netswitcher I believe that will
let you do this.

1. You don't need to belong to a domain in order to access resources on it -
I'd just log in to the laptop using the domain credentials, then map drives,
etc. on the other domains using net use with the /user switch (or map thru
Explorer and providing different credentials). This is very easy to do.
2. There's an app called MultiNetworkManager (www.globesoft.com) that will
let you do what you want, but I don't think it's necessary - I've never
needed it and prefer to adhere to the KISS principle.
