Changing Domain in Win 2000 Pro

[wpnetsystech]

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone knows how to change the domain by modifying the registry? Or if this is even possible? I changed my network settings to workgroup and now I need Administrator priv. to re-join the Domain I was in.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thank You.

I don't think this is possible via a reg tweak. At some point during the process, you need to authenticate to the domain you want to join. You may be able to find a key that holds the info about the domain you are a part of, but the server has to give permission for your PC to join.
BTW, I could be wrong, but don't think you need admin rights to join a domain, just a valid user/pass for an account on that domain.

To join a domain you need the username and password of a valid Domain Admin Account ... so its time to call your sysadmin and beg to be added back in.
