I have a user who is wearing two hats. &nbsp;She now works at two different companies which are part of the same corporation. &nbsp;Each company has its own domain, email server, etc. &nbsp;We'd like to be able to allow her to access the other company's domain when she is at either plant.<br />
<br />
Originally I was thinking of having a duel boot system whereby she could boot into an OS partition that was set up for the domain of the plant she was at. &nbsp;But this solution doesn't allow her access to the resources of the other domain at the other company (resources like email).<br />
<br />
What I was thinking of was having a virtual PC environment set up on a duel boot PC so that when she was booted up under a given OS set up for a given domain she could also set up a virtual PC session into the OTHER domain and thereby access her email and other services there.<br />
<br />
Is this possible?<br />

Set up virtual PC to access non-trusted domain?

Microsoft Virtual Server was a virtualization solution that facilitated the creation of virtual machines on the Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows Server 2003 operating systems. Virtual machines are created and managed through a web-based interface that relies on Internet Information Services (IIS) or through a Windows client application tool called VMRCplus. Features included Linux guest operating system support, Virtual Disk Precompactor, symmetric multiprocessing (SMP), x64 host operating system support, the ability to mount virtual hard drives on the host machine and additional operating systems support, including Windows Vista, and a volume shadow copy writer.

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
