1. In Windows 7 Remove A Pc From Domain

You must restart the computer to make the change effective. Also, when you remove a computer from a domain, you must move it to a workgroup. Use the WorkgroupName parameter to specify the workgroup. To move a computer from a workgroup to a domain, from one workgroup to another, or from one domain to another, use the Add-Computer cmdlet.

In Windows 7 Remove A Pc From Domain

I'm a small business owner, I did have a server in my office but recently de-commissioned it and paid an IT company to come and do whatever was needed to remove the computers from its control. They have now done this, but it appears the domain is still pointing to it as on each computer next to the processor, memory etc stats it still says 'five star.local' and has the name the computer was under the domain.I don't really know what that means or the potential consequences of it. Can anyone here shed any light?

I mainly want to know will it cause any issues in the future? Thanks for replying CharlieRB. We haven't attempted anything ourselves- we engaged an IT company with instructions of 'decommissioning the server and removing all computers from the server so they operate independently'. They came, the did stuff, they left, they sent invoice. Then we noticed this.

They are saying that the computers showing this is fine. We don't understand enough about servers etc to know whether this is correct, so wanted a 2nd opinion from IT people who do:)– Lauren Jun 17 '15 at 0:04.
