Dual Login

[araman]

I have a need to login to a computer with a local acct and a domain acct at the same time. the local acct is always staff but the domain acct may vary. I have a reception computer that logs in as staff but occasionally a user may want to access a folder on the server with domain credentials. Any thoughts

What do you mean "at the same time"? Most Windows client OSes only allow one logon at a time. Vista and Win7 will allow you to "Switch User" but only one active account can use it at a time (XP had fast user switching, but not for domains). Windows Server will allow two simultaneous administrative RDP sessions which could be either local or domain accounts.

 

If you just mean that multiple people will log on the computer at different times, that is normal, and I don't know what you want to accomplish.
