Default 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.

Only if you have trusts between domains.

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.


You need to bring your laptop back to work and ask the domain admin to
rejoin it to the domain. 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
