How to Switch domains without having admin rights?

Hi,

I have a computer that was part of a domain. The administrator had limited
login to the domain only, no local login.

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?

Thanks

Hi
If it is a business computer you should talk the IT person and let him set
it for you.
Otherwise, if it currently your private computer and the Admin account is
fully protected reinstall the OS.

Hi - please see the replies to your identical post in another group. In the
future, please don't multipost - if you need to post to multiple groups,
it's best to crosspost instead, by posting a single message to a handful of
relevant groups (separate the NG names with commas) so that everyone can
follow the thread. Multiposting wastes everyone's time, including yours, and
may lead to your actually getting *less* help rather than more.
