Avevo gia' letto la documentazione ed interrogato google, volevo sapere 
se c'era una scappatoia (come normalmente c'e' nei sistemi ms), qualcosa 
tipo questo (preso da http://vowe.net/archives/001639.html):

Normally, Windows XP Home Edition cannot join network domains, simply 
peer-to-peer workgroups. However, there is a fix which can solve the 
problem and allow WinXP Home Edition to join a domain. Microsoft wanted 
to cripple Windows XP Home Edition so that it could not be used on 
domains, which would force many to upgrade to the more expensive Windows 
XP Professional Edition simply to join a network domain. However, it 
-is- possible to get on a domain using Windows XP Home Edition.

This can also be accomplished with the free and widely available Xteq 
X-Setup 6.1 by navigating to the "Network \ Auto Login \ Windows 
NT/2K/XP \ Settings" option within X-Setup. Simply enter the appropriate 
information and click "Apply Changes" - upon your next reboot, you can 
then join domains with WinXP Home Edition. Problem solved. X-Setup 
includes many other useful Windows XP tweaks / hacks / etc. for Windows 
XP as well, all free for personal use.
