Of course not,
Management
Domain membership - Home Edition cannot be used to logon to an Active Directory domain. For obvious reasons, the Domain Wizard is also missing in Home Edition.
Group Policy - Since Home Edition cannot be used to logon to an Active Directory domain, Group Policy--whereby applications, network resources, and operating systems are administered for domain users--is not supported either.
Of course not,

Why the $%#^ would his not be included. SO if a business buys a machine with the home edition, they have to buy the professional operating system to update it to connect to a friggin' domain.

Why the ^%&* would this not be included. It has been for Windows 95, 98, ME, NT4, 2k, etc . . . . These stupid ^&^#s.
There, I've said it and I don't feel better. Been here for many hours with a bad switch that delayed me trying to do this which if the switch hadn't had any problems, I would have found this out early enough to do something about it. Never touched XP for more than 10 frigging seconds before. How was I supposed to know this. Boss says oooh a good deal on a machine. Let's get that one. Doesn't ask, doesn't even tell me. I though I was going to add a 2k professional machine to the network, but nooooooooooooo!
