RE: Vista, Domain Adminstration, & MMCs

Well, I'd tell you to try the network password feature (previously found in
XP) but it looks like MS broke that as well (by no longer allowing DOMAIN\*
entries and not allowing one to re-sync network passwords with their
respective domains).

You can still use *.mydomain.com and enter a specific domain credential. You
can them reference any of their member servers/DCS's in your MMC (Connect
to...) option (assuming it supports that, not all do).

Stuart.
