Join Multiple Domains ?
« on: December 16, 2009, 11:23:43 AM »
Hi All,

I like to have more than one domain in the xpp logon box, is that possible with sme/xpp ?

At the moment i can only leave the server/domain and join the next domain but that is laborious.

AFAIK windows doesn't allow more than one domain, so it's not possible

Windows does allow for that, but not out of the box. It involves Active Directory and inter domain trusts (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc786873%28WS.10%29.aspx) , which is not possible with SME Server as it is a NT based network neighbourhood (as it is using samba).

Perhaps when Samba4 is released and implemented in upstream releases.
