Is there any way to initiate user sessions from a Windows XP (hooked to a
workgroup) to a domain (as you can do on Windows 95/98/ME). This machine
must belong to a workgroup, not to a domain.
Usually the access is denied even if you enter the user and password
requested.

If it's XP Home Edition, it can't log on to a domain.
