no logon servers available due to IP address on wrong subnet
I can no longer login to this machine. It is due to a change of IP address (from dynamic to static) on a different subnet as I needed to temporarily connect to a device for configuration. Now I get the above error when I try to login. I cannot login
to the local computer (local administrator is disabled). I am at a loss. How can I force windows to obtain an IP address dynamically without logging into the computer? This computer would then be on the correct subnet and be able find the logon server. Helllppp!

If your computer is configured with a static IP then AFAIK you should logon as an administator to delete the configure static IP address and then use the DHCP sever.
For that, try to use a local admin account to perform that.

two options
1.boot the computer in safemode, and try to logon with local administrator account
2. Windows caches up to 50 previous domain usernames and passwords (though the default is 10),so u need to logon to the system usin a domain administrative account that has ever logged on to that system,then you'l have access to configure tcp/ip settings
