I tried to re-add a restored VM to AD-domain to restore the trust relationship. However, I cannot change the workgroup/domain via Computer > Properties. There's an error message which says that C:\Windows\system32\netid.dll is broken and the "Computername" tab is not present in System Settings.

I ran SFC and it says the file is corrupt but can't repair it, and I didn't manage to replace it manually due to insufficient permissions. Using WMIC and "JoinDomainOrWorkgroup" also didn't work.

Is there any other way to fix this DLL / change the workgroup/domain membership / re-add the computer to the domain or restore the trust relationship?

I was now able to gain access to the DLL and replace with one from another machine with an equivalent operating system using these commands:

takeown /f C:\Windows\System32\netid.dll
cacls C:\Windows\System32\netid.dll /G Administrator:F

It's working now.
