Hi, What is the "Domain Problem"? To rejoin the computer to the domain: 1. Delete the computer account from the directory. 2. Login with a local administrative user. 3. Join the computer to a workgroup. 4. Join the computer to the domain. Please let me know if you need another help.Regards, Liran.

1- Join the server to WorkGroup (Restart) (takecare you will need Local administrator password) 2- Go to AD consol and delete the server account there. 3- login to server with local administrator. 4- join the server to your Domain again. (Restart). 5- login with Domain account.Mohamed Abd Elhamid Abd Elaziz Microsoft System Administrator My blog: http://Mabdelhamid.wordpress.com/

Domain re-joining is a simple process and proceed as suggested by Liran/M.Adbelhamid. As a best practice, you should delegate permissions to a group, and then add users to the group or remove them as needed to join workstations to the domain. You can use a tool such as Ldp.exe to delegate permissions to join workstations/memeber servers to a domain. Also, pls have a look at Offline Domain Join (Djoin.exe) Step-by-Step Guide Review details about using the appropriate accounts and group memberships at Local and Domain Default Groups ~Santosh

Thanks "Member server is a DNS server", is that an additional domain controller ? If your answer is Yes, then you need to take some precautions. Pls refer Removing a Domain Controller from a Domain ~Santosh
