Joining domain locked downHi,
We just acquired a laptop from another company. It’s currently a member of a workgroup. I wanted to add the computer to our domain and the area where you make it happen is grayed out, so it will not allow me to do it. I think that the system has been locked down from the company it came from. When I go into “Local Security Settingsâ€, the “Account Policies†and “Local Policies†have a lock icon on it. Is there a way to set the system\security policies back to default? Thanks. Mitch mitch wrote:
