You may need to work with whoever manages your domain controller to get the necessary permissions and accounts set up to connect your computer to a new domain and log in with your user account. You can also leave a Windows domain using PowerShell , a free scripting tool from Microsoft. This can be useful if you want to automate entering and exiting domains. Use the Remove-Computer command in PowerShell to remove a computer from a domain. You can provide a variety of parameters, including the name of a work group to move the computer to, and you must provide the username of a user allowed to remove the computer from the domain using the parameter "UnjoinDomaincredential.
You may need to restart your computer for changes to take effect. If you want to do so as part of the PowerShell command, use the parameter "-Restart.

Gamble Nov 12, at UTC. Do you have multiple domains? You could cache the username and just need to enter the password? We only have one domain, but this is what happens when you try to log in with just the username.
It sounds like and underlying AD issue. For clarification are your users in the same Microsoft AD domain as the computers? But thanks anyway. Sigkill Nov 12, at UTC.

Everything else in the list is a domain managed by a Domain Controller. You will never see the name of other computer workstations or servers here. By default, Windows and Windows XP will be set to the logon context of the last user to log on. So if multiple users have accounts on separate domains and share one computer, each user will have to make sure to manually select the correct domain in the Log on to box.
In the example above, if the user kgibson only has an account on the LAB domain, he will have to select that in the Log on to box to be able to log on. One last note about this verson of Windows: When you first click on the drop-down list to see the list of domains, you may get a message that says "Please wait while the domain list is created".
When this appears, your computer starts communicating on the network to identify what domains are reachable. This should only take a few seconds.
There is a quirk, though, where the message won't go away when it is finished, and you can sit there staring at your computer forever waiting for it to say it's done. If it is actually finished building the domain list, the message will disappear and you can click the drop-down list again and instantly see the available domains.
Windows Vista and Windows 7 changed how domains are specified. There is no more drop-down list! The reasons why are complex, but essentially Microsoft made this change in the name of security. Note the use of the backslash, which is usually above the Enter key on your keyboard. If the Log on to item is present and already shows the correct domain name, you can simply type your user name.
So, take a look at the most common screen you'll see when you want to log on, which shows the user who last logged on and prompts for the password:. Under Computer name, domain, and workgroup settings, click Change settings. On the Computer Name tab, click Change. Under Member of, click Domain, type the name of the domain that you wish this computer to join, and then click OK. For example, to log on as local administrator, just type. Administrator in the User name box. The dot is an alias that Windows recognizes as the local computer.
