W2k domain authentication & XP Home
 

Quick technical one to ponder here. We have a Windows 2000 AD set up here with an ISA server for internet access.

Now for the problem....An american member of staff has just turned up with a laptop running XP home which I realise cant log on to our domain as XP home has no domain support. The problem I have is I cant get an RDP connection to our US server to work on it either and I guess that'll be the ISA server not recognising the request from his PC even though I can ping the IP address of the remote server from the laptop.

Any clues how to get around this... (not including reinstalling the laptop) :D

Is ISA set-up to allow the outbound RDP traffic?

Yep we have other users with it working...

Anything from ISA in the Event Logs?

Its showing up in authorization failures...

Just had a thought, not tried the ISA client yet... I'll give that a go.

Arrgggghh, that doesn't work, even manually mapping a drive on the ISA server (and hence authenticating with it) doesn't work either.
