Our new staff accidentally imaged a workstation that joined to the domain
already, and clone this image to a few other workstations, which then
shipped to our remote location.

Of course the workstations with this image can't join the domain at all. Is
it possible to force removing the domain membership of a workstation
manually, because if I can do that, then I believe can I change the SID of
the machine by using newsid.exe program from SysInternals and rejoin this
workstation back to the domain.

If the workstations were local, I would gladly reimage them, but since some
of these workstations are shipped to remote location, is it possible to do
the above?

Thank You

Hi

The answer is yes.
Force - Remove from domain
Apply the newsid.
