company laptop w/multiple domains - need help!!!
I work from home (occasionally go to the office) and my computer has multiple
domains (for when I'm in the office). I have a loca domain account w/admin rights too. However, I changed from the domain (the domain-name.local) to a workgroup. Now when I try to get back to that domain, I can't. What can I do to fix this so I can get that domain back?? Thanks. |

He or she will need to know the local admin credentials on the laptop. Note - you don't need to change to a workgroup just to access resources on it. You shouldn't play with your laptop's network settings at all. Once you've logged in using your domain account (using cached credentials), and have an IP address on the home network, you can map drives, use printers, whatnot, very easily - one way, in a command line: net use x: \\computername\sharename /user:computername\username enter |
