I just inherited a new domain in a new town.  I need to have my winxp machine on my domain but i need to be able to log off and when logging back on pick the new domain.  The new domain isn't a child domain in the forest yet...it is it's own seperate system.  I don't want to have to keep rebinding my laptop to each domain...any way to join multiple domains and have the ability to choose which one i want to log in to?

Is it possible to have multiple domains to choose from before logging on?

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD). This topic includes all things Active Directory including DNS, Group Policy, DFS, troubleshooting, ADFS, and all other topics under the Microsoft AD and identity umbrella.

Active Directory

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
