cannot log into domain because the current time on this computer and the
current time on the network are different. I imaged the old hard drive
information onto a new hard drive and now I cannot log into the domain 2003
server. I get the error message about the time being different. Any simple
clues?

Lily,

Part of modern authentication procedures involves use of the clock on the client
(where you are logging in), and the server (which you are trying to login to).
To prevent replay attacks, the clock on both computers is hashed into the
authentication. If the clock on your computer is off by more than 5 minutes or
so, authentication fails.

This frequently is an issue when daylight savings time day rolls around, twice a
year.

Set the clock on your computer. As precisely as possible. That's usually all
that's required.
