New To Parallels - Have a W2K Domain Question

[clatham]

Forgive me if this has been posted before.

I am a network admin and I have installed Parallels and Windows XP Pro, and everything ran smoothly. I have configured it for Bridged Ethernet Mode. I am going to join a domain, but before I do is their anything I should look out for?

Domain: Windows 2000 Active Directory

Any security concerns or issues, running on my network?

Of course I have already installed Anti-Virus and Firewall.

Please let me know as I can't wait not to have 2 computers on my desk!

Thank you in advance for your consideration.

I too have successfully added my WinXP installation on my Macbook Pro onto our company's Active Directory. With bridged networking, I had no issues joining, and have not experienced any significant issues. However, it does appear to some Windows apps that Parallels is running a debugger in the background (not sure if this is just a beta issue).

Since I was originally running a BootCamp install, I joined the network natively first, then added on a Parallels VM using the BC partition. It works fine (minus the various bugs listed on the forums).
