Connecting to a domain and network
I have one Vista user that has the Home Premium version. You cannot add to the domain with this account and he can access and use outlook email via the exchange server. The problem is when accessing shares on the file server he can open but not save. Access is denied. I am wondering if there is a work around or will I have to upgrade to Vista Business? If this is the case has anyone upgraded from the home version to business or other?

I had already created an account in active directory for this user and since there was not a domain option set his workgroup for the same name as the domain. Not sure if that even matters. I had already mapped the drive and I do not see an option other than to use a different user name. So, it's looking more like a new install which sucks.
Yes, use a different name should work.
Enter domain\username for the user and the proper password for the domain account. Check the box to reconnect at logon.

Use the Map Network Drive wizard from the My Computer icon's context menu (right click) and fill out the credentials by clicking on log in with different credentials before saving the drive.
Let me know if this helps. :)
