The right way to do it is to ask your workplace network admin if company policy allows 
connection to a home network.  If so, then to make it work we will have to do several 
things:

1.  When you get home, you will start the computer and log onto the local computer 
using a local user acount.  This is different from at work, where you log onto the 
Domain (not the computer) using a Domain User account.  The easy but less secure 
way to accomplish this is to give you a local account that has administrative privilges 
on the local computer.

2.  When you get to work, you will have to rejoin the Domain, and to do that your 
admin will have to either (a) add your Domain user acount to the group that is allowed 
to perfom the act of joining computers to the Domain, or (b) supply you with the 
User Account and Password for an account that is allowed to add computers to the 
Domain.  Once the computer is back on the Domain, then you would log into the Domain 
normally.

There are several programs available for people that have to hook up to several networks:

GlobeSoft Multinetwork Manager v7

Mobile NetSwitch

NetSwitcher
