    Homegroup and Domain Joined PC


    Hi Guys,

    Apologies if this has been answered before ...

    I have 5 pc's at home all running Win 7 Ultimate. 1 of the PC's (my laptop) is joined to my works domain.

    The problem I am having is I can't get it to join the Homegroup when I am at home.

    all I really need to be able to do is to access folders on each of the other pc's as and when needed (full access)

    Is there any way to resolve this?

    Many thanks for any help you can offer.

    Paul

    This page covers it pretty well. There are a couple of different methods you can use.

    Note If your computer belongs to a domain, you won't be able to share files and printers with a homegroup, but you can still access files and printers shared by others.

Please take a look at the image and let me know if it's possible to join the unallocated space with D: partition. As you will see, C: is stuck in the middle. Incidently D: has XP for backup and annoyingly the boot files (which I want to correct but that's another issue). Currently I'm using the...
