Remove from Domain with out Admin rights
I took over for an IT manager who was let go.
Somehow or maybe not, windows updates seem to have disabled all the NICs. Cant enable, need admin rights, dont have them.
I have never login to the server before so no admin cache credentials that I have access to.
Local Admin I dont know either. The server I do need up, wiping not an option a this point.
I have tried removing from the domain, still need admins rights, which I have none.
Any ideas? Or am I hosed?

thx to both of you, I do have physical access, I will look at both options
I think these will only let you get admin access on the local machine. That will allow you to get them off the domain, but won't help you to get back on. You still need domain admin rights to do that.
So let me give you a hint that you can use to impress your bosses. Once you get this figured out and have the password to the Administrator account for the domain, write it down and put it in an envelope and give it to your bosses. Nobody needs to know that password except in an emergency. Why? Each domain admin should have their own account. Do that and you won't have this problem again.

@Brian B I am the boss ; ) We have our own admin accounts, we have not login to the server before, so no cached credentials. That's why the only logins are the old Admin's User Account which we changed the password in AD and dont know the old one which is the cached credentials.
Would need the local admin password which he did not put in an envelope which would be cached on the server. That's why we are stuck. But thanks for the hint. New Client for us.
