    Connect 1 Pc to Multiple Domains

    I have 1 PC (XP PRo) that will ultimately connect to 2 Domains. (Domains will
    not be Trusted and Never will be Joined)
    Other than Dual Boot with 2 OS system each called Domain 1 and Domain 2 is
    their any other way this 1 PC can connect to Multiple domains.

    Thanks in advace for any help

    1 Domain is 2003 the other is likely to be SBS2003 R2

    If you create the same doamin username on local computer, you should be able
    to access the domain resource without joining it. This how to may help,

    Hi Dickie,

    You can access resources in multiple domains, but you can never have a
    workstation be a member of more than one.

    Thanks for the reply.

    The PC will need to connect to the domain and not share files. 1 Domain will
    be a 2003 AD Forest with several Servers, the other Domain will be a SBS2003
    R2 Domain. The PC will also need to use a different IP and Subnet on each
    domain.

    From what you have said the only way of doing this would be a multiple OS
    boot each partitiion called Domain 1 and Domain 2.

    RE: Connect 1 Pc to Multiple Domains

    You are correct that dual boot would allow a single machine to access both.
    I am curious, what business problem are you trying to solve? Maybe we're too
    far down in the weeds looking at only one technical solution. Depending on
    your needs we might be able to find another solution -- TS or something like
    that.

    Cheers,

    RE: Connect 1 Pc to Multiple Domains

    The scenario is simple albeit complicated (Yeah thats sound very
    contradictory)
    The current business has purchased a new business but they both need to
    operate separately. The 2 systems will use a FileMaker system which
    broadcasts to the domain 1 filemaker server (it can only ever be 1 filemaker
    server). So the 2 INTERNAL domains will need to be completely separated.
    We have run through the 2 PC's for every user scenario, Sub Domains
    (Filemaker don't like it) and the Multi Boot Option.
    So I'm slightly lost on how I can get 1 PC (this will be upto 5) to connect
    onto 2 domains. I'm sure we can find a network subnet solution but I fear
    this may get very technical..

    Don't forget that setting up a trust relationship between domains does NOT
    give any permissions to the users, only the *possibility* to give
    permissions.

    Maybe a one-way trust is the way to go...

    RE: Connect 1 Pc to Multiple Domains

    Hello again,

    Generally on something like this, you would have a separate forest with a
    trust back to the parent corporation. Then you'd work through the issues on
    FM to make it accessible by both. I haven't worked with FM in years, so I
    can't be of much help there, but I do know that it can be used through other
    authentication methods -- like exposing it to web users. You may have to
    look at the overall solution and offer the FM as a service like you would to
    an external partner or an end consumer.

    I guess, I am saying that there isn't an easy path here, but that you can
    get through this by maintaining corporate security and making services
    available as external resources. Of course, you could merger your internal
    IT and do it that way, but that is a business decision that sounds like it
    has already been been made.

    Cheers,
