Hey guys

Okay, my work notebook was connected to my works domain (***.co.za) and long story short I changed it from Domain to Workgroup with the title of WORKGROUP in "Members of:" with the expectation of being able to go back to the Domain without hassle.

Now I cannot get back onto the domain member group. I select Domain in "Member of:" and type in the domain (***.co.za) and then get promoted for my credentials and fill them in but get prompted with an error:

"The join operation was not successful. This could be because an existing computer account having name "NB-****" was previously created using a different set of credentials. Use a different computer name, or contact your administrator to remove ant stale conflicting account. The error was:

Access is denied."

Why can't I rejoin the Domian?

PS. I am currently on the Administrator account for the notebook connected to the companies network.
 
Solution
You need to talk to your network administrator. It sounds like the domain is configured so that only a Domain Administrator can join a computer to it; very sensible.
