Without the DOMAINNAME, they can get to everything on the network, but the Proxy server stops them each time they open an Internet Explorer window and ask for a user ID. Putting it in at login, gets them through every resource on the network including Exchange server and Proxy server. -----Original Message----- From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Matthew Shrewsbury Sent: Friday, January 07, 2005 9:03 AM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: OT (SOLVED) Windows XP home on an NT 4 domain I've done the same thing in the past however I've never had the need to put the domain name in. I've always thought this was as little security loophole in Microsoft domains that you actually don't have to specify the domain name as long as the user and password match the domain account.

I noticed that he could get through the Proxy server to the Internet by typing DOMAINNAME\USERNAME in the user name field and PASSWORD in the password field ( the only two line XP Home gives you for a login to a network resource ). So I created a User account on the Windows XP Home PC, that was the same as his Domain account name. Then I gave him the same password as his Domain account password. In account set up, I made the XP Home PC ask for a login ( remove the check mark from enable Fast login ( I don't remember the actual name of the field )). When he logs on to his XP Home PC, he enters DOMAINNAME\USERNAME in the user name field and PASSWORD in the password field, and the NT 4 domain lets him use everything, just like he was a Domain member. If you decide to use this in your network, every time a user changes their password, they will have to change it in both places. Hope this helps. Jeff.
