Can I logon to my Windows XP machine simultaneously as a local machine login and a domain login?

Posted on Mar 26, 2008 under domain news and reports | 5 Comments

For reasons not worth describing, I have to logon to a Windows XP box as a local admin user.

I also, however, need access to a number of domain resources (Exchange, web servers, file servers). Because I'm logged in as a local admin user, each of these resources is constantly asking me for domain credentials.

This is a pain. Is there a way to be logged in as a local admin user and a domain user simultaneously? Or some equivalent workaround that silently passes the domain credentials when ever my local login is challenged?

"Save password" only works on a per-resource basis (if it works at all), so regrettably isn't working for me.

Thanks in advance for any help!

  1. For security reasons, your network admin creates certain rules & profiles to meet network & Intranet security.Once put into place, it cannot be altered or bypassed without the prior authentication by your network admin.Hence, simultaneous login by any means is not possible simple reasons for security policies being put into place.So, one has to Authenticate to the domain he/she is logging in & there no turn around to it………….
