Re-adding a remote PC to a domain

Admiral Huddy · 4 Jan 2021 at 16:26

As per the title really, there's no one in the office and not likely to be.. Is this possible?

I've checked AD, and there's noting to suggest I can.

Thanks

It is inside the network. we normally RDP to the machine once a connection is made to the network.. Can't RDP or ping it.

Security staff has confirmed the PC is on and on the login screen.

Thanks for your replies.. No, I've tried a VPN and from our DR replication and from another server on the same network.

I'm sure I've done this before by resetting the machine from the AD.

So our staff are RDPing to their own machines in the office, and this is the issue. One of them is unreachable.. Fortunately, we do have one guy that was able to check the connection and check if the PC was on.. and that seems fine but he can't do any more than that.

This is the problem with dated FAT client installations, but we are where we are.
