How to Switch domains without having admin rights?

Hi,


I have a computer that was part of a domain. The administrator had limited
login to the domain only, no local login.

I have an account that has regular user rights, no administrator rights.

I want to connect the workstation to a new domain. But I cant change the
settings since I dont have admin rights.

Anything for me to do besides reformatting the whole machine?

Thanks

Hello ghurty,

Talk to the domain admins. Or search on google for reset administrator password.

Best regards

That is not an option, because the previous domain name was fired in disgrace
after it was found out that he was doing illegal activity.

Thanks

Hello ghurty,

There should be a new domain admin and if not, google for reset local administrator
password.

Please see the replies to your post(s) elsewhere. In the future, please
don't multipost - if you need to post to multiple groups, it's best to
crosspost instead, by posting a single message to a handful of relevant
groups (separate the NG names with commas) so that everyone can follow the
thread. Multiposting wastes everyone's time, including yours, and may lead
to your actually getting *less* help rather than more.

I thought this looked familiar and was posted in a different group that
we've responded to. Cross posting is surely beneficial for all of us, the
poster and responders!
