I too am experiencing this problem and really would like a solution.

As a consultant who's laptop is never homed to a domain, this causes me no
end of headaches. XP's feature was a great help to those of us who roam
between domains. I personally can't see this as a security breach as it will
only work if you already have valid credentials on the domain in the first
place. And since you can store Logins/Passwords for any machine on the
domain anyway, it really is just an improved management feature.

Microsoft please restore this feature and explain why it was considered such
a security hole that needed to be removed in the first place. Or at least
give us a chance to say why you need to bring this back.

Thnx
TED
