Vista - Which Vista versions can i join to domain?

Hi all

Am I right in thinking that both the home versions of Vista are unable to be
joined to a domain but all the other versions are?

Many thanks.

You are correct that neither Vista Basic or Home Premium can be joined
to a domain. You will need either Vista Business, Enterprise (only
available in volume licensing IIRC), or Ultimate.

Vista Business or Ultimate. Enterprise can also join a domain but the
Enterprise version is for volume licence customers only.
