Domain trust on a restored member server
my google-fu apparently lacking today, here question.
we have 2008 rs server need restore backup. server not domain controller, member server. when restore backup comes wit domain trust broken (which understand why). unable login restored server because not have local admin password anymore (the person configured violated company policy on password usage). local admin account local account on machine.
what i need know if there way restore domain trust without logging restored server? haven't tried resetting computer account in ad, system failing needs stay , can't risk getting hosed if can't backup working.
general info on our setup:
2008 domain (3 domain controllers)
restored server not host ad duties
restored server vm in vmware esx.
no, need login member server in order disjoin , join again ad domain. of course, here need local administrator password.
as no longer remember it, need reset using live cd or microsoft dart: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/resetting-passwords-with-the-diagnostics-and-recovery-toolset.aspx
