Two sites called : SY and ME at NewZeland connected to each other through WAN cloud (IP-VPN).

A client came from a third site (Singapore ) and started his work at SY site,,,,his laptop was assigned with this domain mork.co.sg when he was at Singapore.

At NewZeland the client was able to access his laptop (profile) by using his username and password that was assigned to him when he was with “ mork.co.sg “ domain,,,,although physically he was not with the domain : mork.co.sg,,,this what it is called he was using the credential. [i.e the client was able to access his domain’s account profile , though he is in different country (domain) ]

By using local admin account for his laptop, I removed him from the domain : mork.co.sg and joined him to a workgroup called : “ moursi “, because at NZ we used to have workgroup at both sites SY and ME, we do not have domain.

As a result we lost the domain client’s profile (email, outlook, faivorite,,,etc)

I can not rejoin him the domain again , for two reasons:

A-I do not have domain admin account for mork.co.sg
B-I am not physically within the domain mork.co.sg,,,,can a user be joined to a domain remotely ?

Since I do not have the user account for Singapore domain’s admin, can the domain’s admin in Singapore remotely access the client’s laptop in NZ (I will enable remote access), to rejoin it again ? what would be remotely fully qualified domain name (FQDN) that you should use ?

Suppose the domain’s admin would be able to rejoin the client again, would the client be able to access his origin domain ‘s profile ?
 
The answer to your questions are yes:- you can join a machine to a domain remotely and you can then copy a roaming profile from the domain.

It depends on two things, domain admin rights and network bandwidth - if you have got both then its easy. If the profile is large and the network is slow, it will be a painfully long time to get setup.
