Logging onto a domain using a virtual machine remotely via VPN?

Feek · 07-08-2009, 23:14

I have a Windows XP VM running on my Mac Pro here which I use to access work. I log into the VM with a local admin account, run the Cisco VPN Client (Version 4.8.01.0300) and away I go. I can access our systems, log on to our thin clients with Citrix and do most of what I need to do.

However, I'd really like to log onto the VM with a domain account. I've joined the domain once I was logged on with my local account and connected via the VPN.

Is this possible? I don't think it is. I need to log in to be able to connect to our network and the only way to do that is locally. I can't make a VPN connection without logging in.

Am I stuffed, or is there a way around this (without physically taking my machine to work and connecting it to the network directly)?
