Can workgroups join domains? How can I do this?

[resu]

just a quick question for those of you that live for networks!

at work we run SBS2008 and every computer connected to that is through a domain. A few of our employees are wanting to bring in laptops from home to take work away with them over the christmas period (why anyone would want to work over a holiday is beyond me!).

anyways is there a way for them to connect through a workgroup to our works domain?

i'm asking because they're running a slection of laptops with OS' ranging from vista home to 7 ultimate.
i'll ask for the workgroup solution as its the most annoying due to ultimate editions being able to join domains

thanks for your help

the short answer is no, this doesn't work.

You may be a member of a WORKGROUP (like at home)

or

at work you can JOIN a domain (which will disconnect the workgroup)

but you can not have BOTH at the same time
