Virtual PC and NT Domain members

[anbingham]

We have a Win2kPro machine that runs several Virtual PCs running Win2kPro. These are used from time to time for testing etc.

As these are test machines we use the "undo drives" function to retain the state of the machines from boot to boot.

The virtual PCs need to be members of our NT Domain and can be added as such. However when they are started, they often cannot log into the domain and give a message that the computers domain account is missing or the password is incorrect.

My guess is that they are setting a password on the coimputers domain account while running ans as we are resetting the system state, they loase this password.

Any one have a solution?

I see the same thing with VMWare in active directory. I'm guessing it has to do with changing mac addresses but it hasn't bothered me enough to check it out.
