Stop with the XP Pro is better for joining a domain!

The only difference is the ability to join a domain. But the cost is a lot higher for xp pro. And you still are supposed to buy client access licenses which are not cheap.

This isn’t a good idea for anyone to do. XP Home Edition has all the of compatibility dissadvantages of Windows NT PLUS all the security holes and the dissadvantages of Windows 98. It is a better idea to use Windows 2000 or XP Professional over Windows XP Home Edition. Joining a Domain in Windows XP Home Edition is just like using SoundFonts without a SoundFont Capable Sound Card. You don’t get the full capibilities. Windows 98 is even more professionally designed than Windows XP Home Edition.

I’m trying to figure out how to leave a domain also, but I think you just want to rename your domain? If so, I think you can use a utility called NETDOM from Microsoft.

Can anybody tell me how to LEAVE a domain in XP Pro? I have a machine from an organization I used to work for and can’t network it with another computer. The name changing area in System is grayed out and when I try to network it with another computer I’m told that I can’t because the computer is in a domain which I can’t figure out how to get out of. If you have any ideas, I’d be really grateful.

Very interesting!
How many companies buy the cheapeast available HW and find that the HW is loaded qith no other but XP Home Version?

And leave it to the IT manager to find a nice “cost efficient” (read: FREE) to solve the problem?

10 Points.

Now, before all the bashing starts, let's get serious… how many people at home will a) Put up and maintain an NT 4.0 Domain controller or b) A W2K Active Directory Domain Root? How many people do you know have more than 10 machines at home to network together? If they do, they probably work for a company that they would get the Pro version from anyway.

Home not join a domain? Oh that's just lovely… My Mom's new laptop has XP home, and the school she teaches at has an NT 4.0 network with domains… *sigh* Microsoft really has it in for its customers.
