USER NEEDS ACCESS TO 2 DOMAINS

[samsunguser]

Please help.

I have a user who needs to login to two domains and to access her e-mail address which is setup at both sites. How can I do this?

You can't log onto 2 domains from the same machine, as it can only be joined to one domain. How is she accessing her e-mail? Is it on an Exchange server?

Have you tried setting up trusts between the 2 domains?

If shes using windows XP you can use password manager to set up access to any servers she may need on domain2 depending on the setup. I use this method to connect to resources on several unrelated domains.

How is access between the two domains handled at the moment?

Thank you. The two domains are not joined. I'm interested in the xp aspect - password manager. How would I set this up? Yes we use an exchange 5.5 server.

Because of my setup with a quick edit to my host file;
192.168.x.x NOTINMYDOMAINSERVER

So it can resolve when I do \\NOTINMYDOMAINSERVER\AShare

It asks for a user name and password. These are managed in:
Control Panel - User Accounts - Advanced - Manage Passwords

You can add the share/ server you need in here so;
NOTINMYDOMAINSERVER
NOTMYDOMAIN\Administrator
Password

It works smashing for remote admin of the exchange servers in other domains (using Exchange Admin) so it should work for your user too.
