Is there any way to join XP home to a server 2003 domain? I have only dealt with XP Pro but would like to know if there are other options for XP Home.
 
It can't be a member of a domain. You can still access certain domain resources (like shares), as long as you authenticate with a domain account.

For example, you could map a drive to a domain controller from XP home using the following command:

net use * \\domain_controller\share /user:domain\username

This can also be done from the GUI.
