Operating System: Microsoft Windows Server 2012 and older

Hello every one,

I have an HP Desktop on which i have installed Windows Server 2008 R2 since 2016 and hosted the domain on it; this one has got motherboard failure recently.

The owner has purchased another desktop in wich i have placed and boot from the old HDD from the broken CPU.

The problem i am facing is that, i have lost the crédentials but i have used SpotMau Boot suit to reset the local Administrator Account's password but I can't log on this new computer though i can boot from the old HDD.

 

I have seen on the web that puting ".\" in the user name field could reveal me the computer name but it didnt, still the old domain name stays seen.

 

Does anyone have any idea for this problem, because i wouldn't like to re-install this system.

 

Thanks.

It must be possible if you boot from WinPE, run command prompt /regedit and navigate to HKLM \ControlSet001\Control\Computername

I have never done that

Or you try Putty from a second machine

 

or try

sysdm.cpl

in cmd
