Hi,

Scenario:

PC at home which is not domain connected but has VPN to workplace.
Workplace has AD domain.

Home PC can RDP into domain controller and admin AD/DNS etc.

I have added the RSAT suite to my home PC (W11) and I want to use RSAT to admin the domain, but not join the home PC to the domain. When I open AD Users and Computers I get:

I realise I can't add my home PC user to the admin group on the domain, so is there a way to run the RSAT as a domain user?

thanks

    Hi @Rob S

    When you launch AD Users and Computers choose the option run as another user , then you can specify another domain account to manage browse your active directory objects.
