Citat fra lockergnome.com (omtalte prog. kan findes på tucows og selvf.
http://www.xteq.com ) :
Whether you're in the military or not, you should salute CptSiskoX for
describing a (current) Windows XP loophole. "Normally, Windows XP Home
Edition cannot join network domains, simply peer-to-peer workgroups.
However, there is a fix which can solve the problem and allow WinXP Home
Edition to join a domain. Microsoft wanted to cripple 'Home' so that it
could not be used on domains, which would force many to upgrade to the more
expensive Windows XP Professional simply to join a network domain. However,
it is possible to get on a domain using the Home Edition. This can be
accomplished with the free and widely-available Xteq X-Setup 6.1 by
navigating to the 'Network \ Auto Login \ Windows NT/2K/XP \ Settings'
option. Simply enter the appropriate information and click the 'Apply
Changes' button. On next reboot, you can then join domains with Windows XP
Home Edition. Problem solved." It was noted that the latest version of
TweakUI could also do the trick, but seeing as Microsoft has temporarily
suspended the download (to "fix" the oversight), X-Setup is a more viable,
short and long- term option.
