How to join domain over VPN?

  1. Log in to your device using a local administrator account.
  2. Establish the VPN.
  3. Join Windows to the Active Directory domain.
  4. Reboot your computer and log in with a local administrator account.
  5. Connect to VPN and switch/logon domain user account.
  6. Sign in under your domain user account.

Note: Some VPN like GloablProtect will be disconnected when switching a user. You may have two options. 1) Lock instead of switch. 2) Cache the domain account, for example opening an application like PanGPA.exe > shift+right clicked > Run as different user.
