If you have the PUEL version, this is possible. The PUEL version has a build in VRDP server which you can use to access your VM. Adding your Guest to a domain should be no problem with either NAT or HIF attached interfaces. If you use HIF, i.e. Host Interfaces, you have to create a bridge as described in the manual. You can then also connect to the RDP server of Windows XP Pro.
