Hi there, I recently had to have my computer name and domain changed,

Meaning, your computer has been joined to a new domain, and had a name
change in the meantime.... right?

however would still like to boot up using my original computer name
and domain.

I don't know what that means exactly (especially regarding the computer
name....you can have only one). What's the relationship between the two
domains?

Is it possible to maintain two different sets of
computer names / domains? Currently, I can log onto my machine using
one user id and can map to a location using my other user id on my
original domain, however I would like to know if one could switch
between these two profiles, to make things easier.

Your computer can belong to only one domain at a time (or workgroup). There
are third party products like NetSwitcher & MultiNetworkManager, but I don't
use them (and am not sure they're officially supported by MS). What you're
doing now is the way I do it ....and I have only one Windows profile to deal
with.
