OK, I have this problem. Until now, all the machines on my local domain have been joined, and all has been happy.  Now I have a laptop that I take to a customer site and it is joined to their domain. So now when I bring it back and hook it up to my own network, it fills the security event log with all manner of junk about failed logons from the machine account. Also, DNS is not behaving well, and the ISA client keeps going offline too.
 
So I was wondering- is it possible to keep that machine joined to a different domain, and yet accept it as a "member in good standing" for my own domain. Basically, I am trying to get it to behave on my network as a trusted machine.
 
Server: SBS2003 Premium, all updates, ISA 2004.
 
Client: Vista Business (RTM), all updates.
 
I will gladly get any logs, events, etc. needed.
TIA

you cant join a machine to two domains.

joining it to a second domain will remove it from the first.

I don't want to have it join both domains, just have it behave correctly when it is my office.
BTW, the security errors are so plentiful that my nightly server usage report won't complete. That doesn't happen on the days that the machine is removed from my own network.
