Hi Howard,
Yes, it is true, Windows XP HOME Edition cannot join domains, so it
would fall into the untrusted domain scenario, and in which, you can
always pass the credentials in CoCreateInstanceEx, and CoSetProxyBlanket
on the interface, etc, I know, not the easiest way to deal with it, but
that has been the solution for non-trusted scenario.
However, Windows XP - Professional can join the domain just like Windows
2000 Professional, work just like you expected Windows 2000 work.

Hope this helps,
Riyaz

Subject: Is my DCom App now broken for XP??? Please advise...

I have a production DCom app that's been in use since 1999. It runs on
our
LAN on Windows NT 4 (Desktop) and for mobile users on Windows 98. The
former is authenticted to our NT4 domain at login and the latter is
authenticated when dialing in to a RAS server with Dial-Up Networking.
(Actually, we have started to phase in Win2K servers and Active
Directory,
but I don't think that changes the issues I'm facing).

More recently, I've had home users running Windows 2000 with a broadband
connection (either cable or DSL). They have been able to access the
DCom
app by authenticating to our NT domain when they login. (We have joined
their computer into our domain).

Our first user showed up with Windows XP - HOME EDITION. I expected to
be
able to treat it like Windows 2000. But I found some posts that
indicate
that HOME EDITION cannot join our domain. So how do I get it to access
my
DCom app?

Please help.
TIA
