I have a domain that I am going to be connecting some computers to. Some
of these computers is XP home. What kind of issues will I have? That is
if they can be attached at all

XP Home can not connect to a domain.
Only PRO does that.
I believe Home can be configured to access directory shares
but I have never tried it.

Hi, just a little play on wording, XP Home cannot 'join' a domain.

You are asking for xtra support calls from users, and to help reduce them
you must ensure the username and password setup on the server is the same as
on the XP home pcs.
