Re: [Vista] Vista and SBS 2K3 will not play nice So be it. I can see the look on the users face when you tell him to just use the "NET USE" command when he needs access to a shared folder.
And yes, Microsoft WILL NOT support you when you call them asking for help accessing domain resources from Vista Home Premium. I guess that makes it "unsupported"?
btw, I never mentioned illegal...which it is not... 
said by bcastner:You are not going to see Microsft announce to the World that those users who have a Vista home edition or XP Home edition cannot use their laptops when they bring them to the office to share files and print. Honestly I do not know where your going with this. I feel like I'm feeding a troll. I said you are correct and probably can make it work. I will expand on my response, from the sounds of it this is not a situation where a user is "occaisionally" bring a home laptop into work. It is a PC at work. Now if your up for constantly supporting these end users trying to access network resources, by all means, stick with Home Premium. My only suggestion is to get Business on those PC's and make it work the way MS intended it to... | | |

kudos:7 | I just object to your repeated claims above that are absolutely wrong. A Vista Home Premium user can logon to a Domain, and can do an authentication of their user credentials. That is not, as you stated, impossible. This user can share files, and print to Domain printers.
The only one making claims that the user problem is his Vista version is you. And that claim is a complete falsehood.
You were flat out wrong. And yes, this is a supported use of Vista Home Premium -- if you call Microsoft you will receive support.
How many more completely false claims about Windows Networking and Microsoft support are we in for in this thread by you? You do not know what you are talking about, and your absolutely false claims just keep growing in number with each new response.

said by bcastner:The only one making claims that the user problem is his Vista version is you. And that claim is a complete falsehood. Yes, the version of Vista is the problem. If it wasn't, the OP wouldn't have asked the question in the first place. It worked with XP? Pro I assume, right? Why not Vista Home Premium? Sounds like a problem to me... The solution you provided. If it was Vista Business, you would not have this problem.

You need to take a chill pill. I stated the fact that MS did not intend Home Premium to be used in a domain environment. I never stated it would not work or was illegal. Period!
But if you insist on thinking that I said it won't work, ok...you win. | |
