Changing remote PC name on LAN??

I need to change the name of a system (PC) on our LAN that is in a remote site. I can use the PC Anywhere type program to login as an admin and remove this name from the domain, but then I can no longer access it after the reboot because it is not a domain member. I cannot give the user the admin login to help me either. Is there a way to change the name of a workstation from my location??

You shouldn't have to remove the PC from the domain. I have often changed the name of Win2k & XP PCs just by going into Control Panel->System->Network Identification->Properties and changing the name. A reboot is required and that should do it.
