Currently I have to log onto my PC (running Vista Business
Edition) and then (when I first need something on the network) log
into my network domain (specifying the domain). The passwords are
currently different.

Is there an easy way to securely change it to only require one
login?

Thanks, Alan

If you are not joined to the domain then I'm pretty sure you will always be
asked for authentication the first time you try to access an active
directory domain resource. You can try caching the domain credentials but I
haven't had a lot of luck with this. See the second post in this thread.
