Wont work. When you add a workstation to a domain, it creates a computer
object in the domain, much like a user account.
<simplification>
The workstation communicates with AD and keeps the passwords of this
computer account in sync.
So if you add the machine to a different physical domain that happens to
be called the same, the machine account isnt going to be present in your
original domain, so AD wont let the machine communicate.
</simplification>
The moral of the story - dont mess with work kit - if you wanna play,
install VMWare :)
