RE: [ActiveDir] WinXP and Win2003

Hehe….  Let me know how that full-out testing of Vista and Aero Glass is going for you in a VPC or a VMWare virtual machine.    I agree, dual-booting is not the optimal method to running different OS’s, but if you want the OS to have the full machine, rather than the limited virtualized hardware that the VMs are allowed – I think dual booting still has a very strong place in the testing / learning environment.   And, make no mistake – this is coming from a guy that when on the road, has a 250GB external with nothing BUT VMs with VPC and VS 2005 R2 on his laptop.  I love virtualization….  It’s just not the right thing for all situations.   Rick   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of joe Sent: Sunday, January 01, 2006 10:40 AM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] WinXP and Win2003   I have no clue why it wouldn't allow you to have different names for the OS and then both can be joined at the same time, I have done this often. You did use different directories for the installations right?   Any more dual booting is going the way of the dodo, the "new" thing is to virtualization software so you have both instances up and running at once. Look at Virtual PC or VMWare Workstation.     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of shereen naser Sent: Sunday, January 01, 2006 6:01 AM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] WinXP and Win2003 Hi list, I have windows xp sp 2 on my machine, I need to test something so I installed windows 2003 server enterprise edition R2 on the same machine same hard disk, I can see the dual boot screen and choose the OS, but I can only login to the domain if one of the OS's is disconnected from the domain, meaning if I want to login to the windows 2003 I have to go to the windows xp and disjoin the machine from the domain then restart and login to the domain in windows 2003, if I want to login to winxp I go to windows 2003 and disjoin it from the domain then restart and join the xp to the domain and login, locally I can login to both machines no problem. the error is that the computer account is not found on the domain when I try to login and both OSes are joined to the domain. I tried to rename the machine name to different names in each OS but same thing happens. is there a way to do that? (login to domain using both OS's without having to disjoin?) Thank you
