Log into what? In Windows, you either log into your workstation directly, or you log into an AD domain. That's it.

Those are the only two types of accounts you can use.

AD is Microsoft's implementation of LDAP. You can log into a local workstation account OR into an AD domain account. That's it. Period. What exactly is it you have running, and what is it you want it to do? I've done my best to answer your questions but perhaps you aren't asking the right ones...

Then the answer is no. Without AD you can't control anything centrally. You will need to set up individual XP user accounts on each workstation.
