Re: How to Switch domains without having admin rights?

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

That is not an option, because the previous domain name was fired in disgrace

I have a computer that was part of a domain. The administrator had limited

I have an account that has regular user rights, no administrator rights.

I want to connect the workstation to a new domain. But I cant change the
settings since I dont have admin rights.

Anything for me to do besides reformatting the whole machine?

Talk to the admin folks of the old domain to unjoin it for you.

cheers,
