Is it possible to add computer from remote location to AD (windows 2008R2) and enable user login?

I've run DJOIN as described here:

http://technet.microsoft.com/library/dd392267(WS.10).aspx

but cannot login into domain after doing this, because my computer doesn't recognize my user.

I get "there are currently no logon server available to service the logon request" error.

P.S. I don't have VPN connection.

You'll need to establish a working connecting to the domain to log in as a domain user - at least for the first time, subsequent times may be able to use cached credentials if they're enabled.

You should probably log in as a local user, establish a VPN connection, hit 'switch user' and log in as a domain user.

  • @Boris Let's put it this way: what method are you supposed to use to get a connection to the network with the domain controllers? Jan 17, 2015 at 1:28
  • This is exactly what I ask you:) - How can I connect to my work Network and get VPN connection? Is any "5 minute" solution?

  • @Boris Do you manage the location with the domain controllers? If so, you should set up a remote access mechanism like VPN that will allow for this computer in a different location to access the domain. Jan 17, 2015 at 1:32
