In short you can't do it!
something you might want to look at though is 'NETSWITCHER' it works for me on my laptop, the best you can get out ouf what u want to try is to give your machine admin rights on each domain..
hope this helps you
Stand up wherever you are, go to the nearest window and yell as loud as you can, 'I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore.'

You have three servers, just member server? Or are they three different DCs each running Active Directory?
More info please...
If you are not running a domain, then the workstation can not be a memeber of a non-existant domain. But your workstation can access shares on a member server by using a local account maintained on the server you wish it to access.
If each of these servers are a domain and all three domains have some type of trust relationship active. Then adding your workstation as a memeber of one domain will allow you to see a list of the other domains on the logon screen. You could then logon to each domain provided you have separate accounts in each domain. Or you can log into the domain which you are a memeber and the Admin for each domain can give that account access to resources within their domain.
FYI: Your computer and it's computer account can only be a memeber in one domain. If you join it to a different domain, the original domain will know that it changed it's memebership the next time you try and bring it on-line on the original domain.

hi,
they are three different DC's running active directory.
the reason they are that way is because of the higher ups design plan (only they see the big picture).
Several workstations need to be able to access all three servers because they aren't dedicated to one user and different users access different domains (the three servers) Is there a way to when someone logs onto a workstaton, from the domain list; choose what domain they want to log into?
