I have an NT workstation that crashed and we used rescue disks and it recovered everything except being on the domain. So when it came up I added to the domain SJSHS and it seemed ok (said welcome to SJSHS Domain) then I rebooted.
Well when I tried to logon (as Administrator) to the domain, it says that the computer account password is invalid?
How is that? It is the same workstation, should have the same SID.
So I logged on to the LOCAL workstation and removed it from the domain, placing it a workgroup (SJSHS), then rebooted.
I went to the PRIMARY DOMAIN CONTROLLER and removed it from the domain workstation list, then synchronized the entire domain. Left both sitting for 30minutes, then I logged on to the workstation, and placed it back in the domain. Again everything looked correct, but when I rebooted I keep getting the same error about the computer account.
How can this be fixed, other than reinstalling the entire OS?
