XP Media Centre and Network Domain Problem!

[Joebob]

I had XP Media Centre edition pre-installed on my laptop but have since wiped it to put XP Pro on instead.

I would rather leave the pre-installed version on if possible though. The only reason I switched to XP pro is because our network at work has a domain.

Anyone know if there is a way of connecting XP Media Centre to a domain?

You can connect an XP MCE to a domain if the network drivers are available at initial install time. Alternatively use Google to search for MCE Domain and it links to a number of registry hacks to allow you attach an MCE machine to a domain. The main thing to note is that you lose the ability to stream to an MCE Extender device, and user switching

Lose the ability to do what?
