Our company has 2 separate networks in different cities. We are shutting down Domain B. Domain B will no longer exist, however any user on Domain B cannot change
domain B To Domain A. We get an error
domain doesn't exist or can't see it.
Users use a VPN to connect to Domain A
,they connect successfully and they can
ping by computer name and ip address but
cannot change domain names. What are my options besides shipping their pcs here.
I know once I have their pcs on site ,I won't have any issues changing domain names.
The pcs are in a different country so shipping them here would leave users without laptops for a long period of time.

We did the same from New Delhi to Louseville using a Router-to-Router Tunnel for Win 98 / 95 systems, changed their domains & successfully loged in to the other domain. However the login takes a wee bit more time & sometimes may prompt - "Unable to login user", but you'll have to try again. I suggest you get a good bandwidth (512kbps or more).
If you are able to ping the other systems I see no problem why you cant change domains and login to the other domain. You can also check your network Neighbourhood to see all the systems on the changed domain.
