Can a virtual PC join a domain?

Oracle says that they are not going to produce a 10g client for Windows 7. I
have a new application that requires this version. I set up a virtual PC to
run in XPMode. Part of the application works and another part gets a logon
error. Why surveying the event logs of the servers today I saw that the
XPMUser of domain VIRTUALXP-28481 has a logon failure. The timing is during
the time I was testing the XPMode stuff. My question is can I join an XPMODE
virtual PC to the domain? If yes, I assume that I would add a domain user
XPMUser and give it some password. Is that correct?

If you can't join the domain, what do you do?

If I don't reply immediately it is becuase I ahve stopped getting replies.

Thanks

Yes, you can join XP Mode VM to a domain.

Yes, or use another user...

As Bob pointed out, you can change the password or you can set up a new
user with a different name and password. You can also change the machine
name if you don't like VIRTUALXP-28481.

There is nothing magic about virtual machines or XP Mode. Once you have
installed it, it is just another machine running XP.

Yup, as I found out once when running a Win 2000 no SP VPC session on
my laptop about five or so years ago at my aunt's house. She had no
firewall system. I saw this bizarre screen coming up and I thought
"Wow, that's Windows messenger spam. I've never seen one before"
(Not the same as MSN/Live Messenger)

Then I realized that there are viruses that hit non firewalled Win
2000 systems with no SPs. I quickly unplugged the cable. And yes
that Win 2000 VPC had three viruses on it. All within 10 minutes of
starting it up.

Thanks to you all.

So to be clear, I'm testing on my workstation, so I could join the domain.
then logon as the original XPMUser and go back to settings and change the
logon to my domain logon account?

Awesome!!

Thanks again.

Domain joined fine. Application now works. Awesome!

BUT after joing the domain I logged in as XPMUser to the virtual PC and it
will not let me change the default logon to anything. I wanted to change it
to my domain logon. IS there anyway to do this?

Actually, maybe the question should be asked another way. If I added XPMUser
to the domain, can I store that account's password?

You should be able to either way, but I don't have a domain here to
test with, maybe someone else can help.

Where are you trying to set the default user to log in?

Right now I'm testing on my PC but when I go to put them on the floor I want
to default them to the domain id of the person who uses the PC.

Also, if you have the application up seamless and you just exit the
application. I'm finding that after that the PC thinks the origianl app is up
and won't let me delete the cache. Any ideas of why that behaviour?
