the domain here and log into a different
domain when they are at a different location
is there anyway to automate this process

The automating of this process will require a trust relationship between the domains,whereas user will be part of the global group within the domain with access permission as guest.Each domain will have to support guest login on that domain.

I don't need to have access to both domains
at the same time. All I need to be able to do
is have the user log in to domain (a) when
he is here, and log in to domain (b) when
he is there.

I travel to different places a lot and I have found a few tricks that work most of the time -- this particular trip works best with NT systems and Win 9x clients. The first is to create valid userids for the user in each domain. In network neighborhood, let DHCP assign everything. Then plug the machine into the network and bootup. Login with the correct domain and you should get in. If you have trouble, use the command ipconfig /release and /renew. There is also a windows version of this -- I think winipcfg. This should get you acces to most of the NT network. mail is a whole different animal. If you use Outlook, you can create multiple profiles but I suggest you forward the email to an internet mail service -- yahoo or hotmail. I have had varying success withthis method but I have got it to work most of the time.
