yes, that's one of the restrictions of the XP Home Edition from the

The only trick I know ist to use

http://download.microsoft.com/download/whistler/Install/2/WXP/EN-US/Twe
akUiPowertoySetup.exe

and here you have to configure an autologon to the domain. But this is
very insecure and you have to change this new for every user, which
want to log on to the domain.
