SubscribeMedia Center 2005 vs. Domain Support
Jason Tsang outlines why you can't join your Windows Media Center 2005 to a domain.
1. Feature differentiation between the Windows XP Media Center and Windows XP Professional so that a new price point could be created.
2. Support for Media Center Extenders required Fast User Switching, something that could not be done when a computer is joined to a domain.
He also outlines ways people have been able to get around these issues (to varying support from Microsoft). These instructions show you how to hack your installation and join a domain but you won't be able to use extenders so figure out if that trade off is worth it: Joining a domain within Media Center 2005
Windows Vista (Ultimate) will have these problems fixed and allow domain joining.
