I changed the name of a machine on our network. It was a win2k pro client
and we have a win2k server PDC.
After robooting(and some hack tricks to change the name) I can't log on to
the domain from that machine. The error is:
"The System cannot log you onto this domain because the system's computer
account in it's primary domain is missing or the password on that account is
incorrect"
OK, there is more: When I tried to change the name of the machine, it asked
for credentials, when I supplied mine(member of domain admins) it rejected
them. The only way that I was ever able to rename the machine was to do
this:
1) switch from domain to workgroup
2) rename machine
3) reboot
4) join domain
5) reboot
!!) can't login
What have I done? I have tried to create a new computer account on the PDC
using the AD snapin, I create a new computer with the same name. Still
can't login. Any suggestions?
Please help, my Dad is gonna kill me if I don't fix this for him. It was
one of those "This will just take a second things" and now it's been almost
a week
I'm stuck.
