Re: Accidently deleted computer account from AD

Hello,

Thanks for posting!

I suggest you disjoin the domain using Network ID Wizard.

To start the Network ID Wizard, click Network ID on the System Properties
dialog box. This wizard is new to Windows XP. With this Wizard, you can add
the computer to a workgroup or to a domain. To move backwards and forwards
in the wizard, use the Back and Next buttons.

The first set of options in the wizard are:

Option 1: "This computer is part of a business network, and I use it to
connect to other computers at work."

Option 2: "This computer is for home use and is not part of a business
network."

Please select option 2, you are prompted to click Finish to restart the
computer. If you follow this step, the computer is configured as "Workgroup
Member". By default, the name of the workgroup is "Workgroup."

For more detailed information please refer to the following article:

Hope the information helps.

Happy New Year!
