How do you add Domain options to the Pulldown list on the sign on window. I have seen computers with multiple domain options in this pulldown list, but I am unable to add domain options to this pulldown list.

I have laptop users that need to logon to 2 different domains. I have tried Netswitcher but it doesn't seem to work.

Any ideas?

When you right click my computer on the Win2k PC/laptop, and properties - then network identification, you can join a different domain.
Our PCs remember all domains joined after this has been done and the list appears.

It doesn't remember the domain. I took the laptop to both locations and tried what you said but only the last domain logged onto was available.

If I remember rightly it builds that list from the list of trusted domains.

So... if the computer was a member of domain X and domain X trusted domains O, P and Q. Then the list would contain X, O, P and Q.

If the computer was a member of P, which only trusted X then it would only have P and X in the domain list.

Hope that's right... and hope that helps!

These domains never see each other so when I tried to set up a trust it won't allow it.
