Changing DC in W2K Domain will not let workstations log on

[charlescosby]

I had a W2K domain and had to reinstall the comain cotnroller without backups. I did the installation and said the machine was the domain controller of a domain with the same name. Now any machines with cached information (had logged onto the old domain with the same user) is fine but when I add a user to the domain they cannot log on with the machines that existed before. The error is that the domain is unavailable. If I try to access shared files from the new DC onto previously existing machines, it insists that I give the username and password of the person currently logged onto that machine to access them.

In NT 4.0 days we used to just log on locally to the machines (log off the domain), then log back onto the domain and it would fix it. That doesnt seem to work with W2K. Any ideas?

Thanks
Charles

Should be the same: log in as a local admin, remove the client from the domain (join a workgroup), restart, then re-join the domain.

Oh, and create a BDC to avoid these kinds of problems!!
