Situation is this: My mother has a laptop with a domain account that is used at work. A simple workgroup at home with a network share. The laptop doesn't see the workgroup since it only expects the domain.

What would be the easiest thing to setup so that the laptop could move back and forth between the domain at work and the workgroup at home.

Possibly setting up a new user account with the group policy settings that match your other computer might be what you want to try...
Does this look like an OldGrumpyBastard or what?
