Joining Workgroup using powershell fails if domain controller cannot be reached
Hyper-V Server - Can't UnJoin An Orphaned DomainJoining domain in depolying image with Unattend fileWindows 7 cannot join samba domainBroken trust relationship not corrected even after leaving and joining domain with new computer nameWindows XP Computer moved from domain member to workgroup member: Can I restore my old user profile?Windows Server 2012 - Can't join computer to the domainJoining AD domain with Windows 10 using smart cardRemoting from a WORKGROUP PC to Domain-Joined PCCannot join domain despite able to ping to domain to domain controller by domain name and ipPowershell remote access denied on workgroupJoin Server to Worfkgroup Without Creds?
I have a Windows machine that has been cloned and to keep it from overwriting DNS entries it has only port 3389 enabled. What I am currently doing is using the GUI to join a workgroup and then renaming the computer before re-joining the domain. This works when done through the GUI but when done via Powershell it fails to leave domain and join workgroup.
I was attempting to use:
Add-Computer -WorkGroupName MyWorkGroup
However this gives the error:
Add-Computer : Failed to unjoin computer from domain with the following error message: The
specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted.
I though perhaps running Powershell as the local Administrator might work, but that encountered the same error. I though maybe using the cached domain admin account might work, but also get the same error. I thought maybe specifying any or all of the Credential/LocalCredential/UnjoinDomainCredential parameters might help but that yielded no luck either.
It seems like there has to be a way to do this through Powershell that I am overlooking. Any advice is appreciated.

Perhaps an obvious question, but can you maybe disjoin it before you leave the domain?

@Zoredache Unfortunately I cannot disjoin it first. The clone is created from a backup of a production system.

I haven't used that command in that type of situation, but have you tried passing a-force? Worst case, it may be that you could use netdom. serverfault.com/questions/511317/…
