How can i set up a new admin if i'm not connected to my domain??
Hi guys,
I am very new to this and I may not even have worded my problem correctly but I'll tell you what it is and if anyone can solve it I would be very grateful because I am at the limit of my windows knowledge here.
I am needing to set up a new administrator on my laptop, running Windows 7 Ultimate. The problem I'm having is when you try to create a new account it asks for a domain name? First of all - the only domains I am familiar with are website domains and I am assuming this is a different kind of domain, similar to a workgroup or something I've read. It seems my computer is attached to a domain which I have the name for now - found in the computers properties page. When I use this name for the domain when creating a new administrator account it gives me the error: The trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed.
Here's the twist - This computer and I guess domain were set up in Australia. I am now in America trying to add this new admin....should this cause a problem? Is the domain an online network thing that it needs to connect to to operate, and if so do I have to literally be on the same internet network/modem to be connected to the domain? Really lost here but trying to find a way around this / work out if I am screwed and can't do it from America.
I've attached pics of the process I'm going through.
