I need to log in to my company domain (Domain1) to authenticate the user then login to another Domain (Domain2) to receive applications. Can I do with with Scripts or is there away to do this? Both DC's are Win2K Servers, No Trusts Exist, User accounts are on Both DC's, user names and passwords have been sync'd on both DC's. How can I get this to work?

Any help or pointers in a good direction would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

JNast

To attach to a resource in another domain while logged into a different one, just specify the domain along with the username. "domain\username"

The better way may be to establish the trust, though, depending on your other factors.

You could map a drive to somewhere in the other domain, too, and make it reconnect whenever you log in. That would save you time, perhaps, but is only a workaround.

I don't know which OS you're using, so I can't give you step by step instructions, but you want to "connect as" and specify the domain with that username.

Also, you might try the net use command [type "net use /?" at a command prompt, if you're in the right OS...]
