Joining or Logging into a domain

[Guest Miracle Max]

I know that XP Home can't join a domain, but can log in to a domain and

access shared files.

 

What can't you do if you are logged in to the domain but not joined to it?

You won't get any of the centralised services such as account/

password administration, logon scripts or Group Policy.

Nor are you actually "logging in" to the domain. You are merely

passing credentials from the Home computer to the Domain controller

for validation.

Meets most requirements of small networks, and NO domain required.
