How can I remove a PC from a domain if I can't access My Computer Properties

**Anilrgowda** · 28-Feb-2007, 10:20 PM

I joined a PC to a domain yesterday and then when i tried to log in it got stuck on Applying Computer Settings for about half an hour. So, I restarted the PC and logged in to the local machine as an administrator but when I right click on My Computer and go to Properties nothing appears for a couple of minutes and then I get a message about Cannot find 'null' ...

Is there any way to remove a computer from a domain without using this method?

You can always just use NETDOM on the workstation. Type in:

netdom remove /d:mydomain mywksta /ud:mydomain\admin /pd

assword
