    Win2k Domain membership / login problem

    I'm 99% sure that there isn't a way to get him logged on using his domain account unless he has logged on at least once successfully on the network in your office. If he had been connected on your local network, he would be able to use cached credentials to log onto his machine. He'd see an...
