I have a standalone server account on a domain that went "offline"
I can't logonto domain. I can't reset it either. I tried everything.
Any ideas other than rebuilding server?

You have to login with the stand alone server?s local administrator account or an account with local administrator rights, then you can disjoin the computer account from the domain. After rebooting the machine you can rejoin the domain or join to another available domain.

Couldn't disjoin. Wouldn't let me. That was the first thing I tried. Tried network connectivity. Finally, late yesterday, I just rebuilt machine and joined it to domain again
