I have a laptop that I use at work where I log on to a domain. When I bring
it home, I don't log on to the domain (because it doesn't exist.) As far as
the system is concerned though I'm a different user.

How do I make it the same user with/without the domain? Do I attempt to log
in to the domain at home and just let it fail or what?

TIA - Jeff.

If the laptop is configured to allow cached logins then you should
be able to successfully log in with the domain account when the
machine is not able to communicate with the domain.

Two accounts need to be different and have different profiles.

what I do at work, is join a work group with the same name as the domain.
This gives me access to most of the domain resources that I need, I can
always log on to domain resources as domain\username if I need something the
work group wont allow. I also have the my work username as my logon to my
home domain(with the domain change). try logging into your home domain as
my_home_network_name\my_user_name and see if that fixes the issue.
