mkay. my MCSE skillz are failing me on this one, 'cause that was like 3 years ago.

on my work laptop, i've got winxp installed and the computer is joined to the domain, blah blah blah

if i upgrade to vista business, will it break the domain membership? i don't have a domain admin account so i can't rejoin if i do unless i get corporate IT involved, and it'll take forever.

i know when you upgrade from win2k to xp pro, it retains the membership, but i dunno about vista.

it's standard practice to remove it from the domain and then readd it on an OS update. I'm not 100% sure but the SID may change going from xp to vista, breaking things if you don't do that.
