And in fact if you want to avoid workarounds and make MCE join a domain
permanently, there are solutions out there to get the machine connected -
just Google or go to thegreenbutton.com!

Yes it does.

But neither one of them objects to Win2K3 prompting for a valid
username, which can be presented as "domain\username".

For me, I just put a shortcut to a single line batch file in the startup
group of my XP Home/MCE machines:

net use \\Server\IPC$ /user:domain\username password

This authenticates them with a valid password to the IPC$ "share"
and
the credentials are cached from there...

Not got around to looking at MCE yet, but does it seriously have the
domain networking nobbled like XP Home?  If it does then I wonder how
Bill G would expect me to plug it into my XP Pro and W2003 server
world where EVERYTHING ELSE authenticates against the domain?!?!!?

Odd!
