Joining a machine to an Active Directory Domain across a Hamachi 2 VPN

from: http://tinycult.blogspot.com/2010/07/joining-machine-to-active-directory.html

The first step is to make sure that the machine you'd like to join to the domain is a member of the same Hamachi network as the domain controller and that it can see the DC. Ping std.hamachi.logmein.com to get the IP address of the Hamachi intermediation server (I get 64.94.18.75) . On the machine that is joining the domain, set the Local Connection DNS setting to the Hamachi IP address of your domain controller. Now go into the Hamachi 2 client on the machine being joined to the domain. Go to Preferences, Settings, Advanced settings, Server connections, Server address and hardcode the IP address of the Hamachi intermediation server there. Hamachi should then be able to resolve and reconnect to the network.

I was able to join the domain, I just had to manually input the DNS of the domain on the hamachi network connection.

Logging in after a reboot was tricky tho… I couldn't log in as a network user (Hamachi not running yet?) So I logged in as a local user, then Switched Users, and logged in as a domain user and it worked.
