I have to disagree with that. In a Windows 2000 domain default installation a domain
user can add up to ten workstations to the domain as specified by the user right "add
workstations to the domain" in Domain Controller Security Policy under user rights.
Perhaps you were thinking of user accounts.

In a default installation a user can also log onto their laptop as a local user with
the same logon name/password as their domain account and they will get access to
domain resources that their user account has permissions to UNLESS default security
settings have been changed to enable ipsec reqire policy, smb signing [digitally sign
communications] is required and laptop does not have it configured, or possibly lan
manager authentication level has been increased to a setting not compatible with the
laptop. Only ipsec require policy using default kerberos machine authentication would
be the sure way to bar communications from non domain computers as far as operating
system restrictions. --- Steve
