Folks, is it possible to add a Pocket PC to a Windows Domain?
I haven't found anything as of now. Maybe in conjunction with an external
tool?

No. You can use your domain userid and password to log on to a VPN
server, access file shares, access your email, etc, but a Pocket PC
itself doesn't have the tools necessary to actually become part of a
domain. Sort of like Win95/98/ME/XPHome. They can access domain
resources with the right user/password, but they can't join the
domain.

Yes you can join a windows domain with a PPC, I have a IPAQ 2210 with
wireless connection. I can quite happily join my 2003 server domain.
