I would really suggest using a domain, it greatly reduces management
overheads and just generally makes life easier.
It isn't too difficult to deal with swapping profiles and the like
around. Last time I had to migrate about 80 machines I wrote a vb script
to rename the machine, join it to the domain and migrate the local user
profile to the domain user. I don't have a copy of it at the moment, but
the basic parts of it are fairly well documented.
Good luck.

I want to have my windows xp users to login locally to their machine,
but still have them automaticly check the netlogon share or something
like that to apply network mappings and policies per group or user.
I have this working when the user logs onto the domain. He gets a
profile (which i keep local through gpedit.msc). I also know of a way
to apply all those things locally to every machine, but obviously i
want to have this another way.
Domain login could be ok if it's a new user, but i'm talking about +-
50 workstations with local profiles already in use. And it would be
the best to manage them centrally via the server.
Anyway to apply this some way?
I've been searching a lot, and it seems to me at the moment i have to
change everything to every workstations (policy and network drive
mapping) without having to do a lot of jiggling locally with their
profiles.
I rather don't.
I guess i'm not the only one who encountered this problem.
Any suggestions would be very welcome.
Thx for reading,
