What version of Vista can log into a domain

armatage · 31 Mar 2007 at 14:45

My laptop currently has XP Home that came with it but I need to log into a domain and have been told that XP home can't do this so I'm thinking of upgrading to Vista (laptop should run it ok) so I'm wondering what the cheapest version I can upgrade to to do this? I don't use it for games so just want a basic version that can log onto a domain.

Cheers

Unless of course you do want Vista.

Vista Business, I think.

If you want the Media Center stuff, you'd have to get Ultimate.

Business, Enterprise or Ultimate

so Vista home edition has the same problems as XP home?

Will this do the trick?

Whats the difference between this and the full version?

It's not a problem, it's by design. Normal home users have absolutely no use for Domains.

If you do have use for domains at home, you're a power user - so would want Ultimate to get all the domain stuff along with the home 'media' stuff.

And if you're not bothered about the home stuff, go for Business.
