I don't believe you can, and if you could why would you want to? Log onto
the PC with any local account name/password, then use the "Computer Name"
tab on the System Properties screen to join the domain. At that point you
will restart the PC and can use either a local account or a domain account
to log on.

Then what good would it do you to add the workstation to the domain?

I have the admin password of the network domain, but not of the local domain
which by which I mean the machine to which I am logging on.
You know: where it says Domain: <drop down box>.

Doesn't matter in this case, although I sure hope someone has it. All you
need is the proper admin credentials for the domain. The domain admin can
then re-set the local admin password if need be.

You've been messing with this for a couple days now. If I recall you only
have 6 workstations and only 4 are having any real problems. In this amount
of time you could have reinstalled those 4 from scratch and been on to
bigger and better things by now.

Ah. So you have Domain Admin but not the password for the local admin.
I haven't tried it, but I wouldn't be surprised if you have to log in
with local admin rights (even if not the actual Administrator account)
in order to change the domain membership on a Win2K box.
If you don't have the local Admin password then you're probably stuck
trying something like L0phtcrack (which I'm not positive will work against
a local SAM) or just burn the box down and rebuild it.

I am totally in agreement with you. Just reload and move on.

Login as the Domain Administrator, then go to Control Panel | Users...you
should be able to reset the local Administrator's password from there.

I'm sorry but I don't understand what you're saying here. You do have
the Domain Administrator's password, yes? You do NOT have the local machine
Administrator's password. Is that correct?
Your problem is that currently the machine is not a member of the domain
and you want to somehow join it to the domain, yes? If that's the case
I'm not sure you're going to be able to because I *think* you have to have
local admin priviledges in order to join a machine to the domain.

Actually, as long as he had _any_ valid logon for the local box he could
still join the domain. If you attempt to join a domain from an unauthorized
account (which would pretty much be any account outside the domain, yup)
then you get a credential box where you put in the userid/password of the
domain admin (or any account authorized to add workstations to the domain)
to authorize the domain join.
His problem is that he has no valid login for the local box, therefore no
way to get into it to begin with. Game over.

Except that you have to be able to log into the machine to join the domain
in the first place. Physical control is enough...you could reformat the
machine and reinstall the OS giving it a local password that you know.

I wonder why the security barrier is a 1 hour reload of the operating
system.
Why not 1 hour of monkeys typing the numeric kepypad.
