XP mode on a domain
- Thread starter territt
- Start date
My rollout was to use a script called from a batch script called from command prompt, I don't have access at the moment but I followed the advice (and links) here to create my own and MSDN of course.

Your milage may vary depending how you have it setup; it took me half a day to figure out why it was not working
. Do not specify the credentials as it says at the top of the page, just log in as Administrator. That worked for me.

The reason for a script (called) within a batch command script was I was forced to use VBS to do it, from a batch file. Only way I could get it to work properally.
I did not make it clear after re-reading my post - if you have any domain level scripts that need to be run after joining the domain, run them after restart of XP mode.
Windows 7 and standard alone XP were soo easy to join to the domain, sadly I did have a lot of problems with Windows 7 XP mode. No idea why. I thought it was "just" standard XP in a VM.
