Hello everyone,
    I have a problem that I as of yet don't have an answer to.

    I work remotely from home using a desktop computer to collect my email
using a tunnel client, the desktop
    I have was orininally authenticated on my organizations network and thus
when I log on now as my domain user
    it allows me to do so because the authentication info is cached
somewhere on the hardrive

    Recently I have acquired a nice laptop running Win2K - but the tunnel
client won't run on Win2k, as an alternative I
    have installed VMware which will effectively run Windows NT on my laptop
for me as a virual machine so I can get my email
    - the problem is is that I can't logon using the new windows NT VMware
installation because my authentication details for logging onto
    my organisations domain have never existed and therefore I am thus
fucked.

    Even when I tunnel into my organisation and attempt to change my details
from a workgroup to a domain it replies
    saying it can't find a domain controller - does anyone have any
suggestions as to how I'll get round this without travelling
    853 mile to my organization HQ?

    I had the thought of perhaps ripping off the SAM database from my NT
desktop and slapping it onto the VMware installation -
    but it does'nt want to play.

Cheers

Graeme
