hello
apparently it is possible to patch XP Media Center Edition 2005 to
join a domain, but I can't seem to find out how.
does anybody know which registry patch you need?
kind regards
werner
<quote>When Microsoft released Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005,
the ability to join domains was left out. The domain feature was
eliminated because of pricing reasons as well as technical reasons.
MCE 2005 relies on fast user switching to allow it's extender devices
to connect to the central MCE workstation. If the MCE workstation is
on a domain, fast user switching will not work, and any extender
devices will not work.
If you do not use any extender devices, such as the set top boxes
that allow you to watch Media Center content on your TV in your
family room from your PC in your office, and you have a need to join
a domain, it is now possible to make MCE 2005 join a domain. </quote>
