The domain name in the login box will permanently change after the first
sucessfully login to the new domain name.  I was just in a situation
yesterday where I had specified an incorrect domain name in the MS
Networking checkbox under Networking Properties, but after logging into the
computer and changing the domain at the Network Login, it automatically
updated the domain name as type din the MS Networking checkbox under
Networking Properties.

Actually, They would need to change it every time they log in since we have
the Log on to Windows NT Domain Checked and the domain name specified in the
properties of the Client for MS networks. In addition we also need to change
the User-Level security to the new domain.  
 
Thanks,

The 9x clients are easy. Windows 95 doesn't join the domain. If the user
changes the domain on the box during login it will log in to the correct
domain. The Workgroup would have to be changed, but you should be able to
script that.
 
The 2k clients can be moved using a Resource Kit utility (the name escapes
me right now). I'm sure someone else will post the name of the utility.
