Sign on to Multiple SBS Boxes

Is it possible to setup a laptop so that it can log in to multiple SBS
Servers? We have a salesman who travels between our 7 branches. Each Branch
has its own SBS box and it would nice if he could simply plug into the
current location and select which SBS/domain he wants to log into from the
drop down list on the logon screen.

Thanks.

 

Natively, no.

A couple third party apps to check out:

Personally, my preferred method is to simply leave the laptop in workgroup
mode and not join to any domain. A few simple tweaks to DHCP / ISA on the
individual SBS boxes and you're good to go . . .

Scott, I used to use Netswitcher, although with XP SP2 and SBS2003 I could
never get it to work again. It takes an age to reset everything. I agree
with Chad, just use DHCP on the laptop and the RDP at each site. Less time
spent mucking around, especially if the salesperson is not all that computer
savvy.
