To the best of my knowledge this is possible with a Qube3 straight out the
box.  It fact it was supported on the Qube2 as well.

It all comes down to configuring Windows correctly ... on the Qube3 you just
enable network logon.

Mind you it also depends on your flavour of Windows.  I have it going with
Win95/98/ME.  WinNT, W2K, and XP are likely to want a real PDC.

Cheers,  Malcolm
