Computer acounts

[Bill]

Hello,

Where I am working, there are 4 offices throughout the
town. In 1 office, the AD domain works fine. In the other
offices we made a "copy" of the domain controller and
placed this PC in each of the remaining 3 offices (for a
total of 3 "domain controllers"). The resource servers
have been connected to the LAN where the working domain
controller is. Now all the servers have been synchronized
for about a month.

I think there is an issue with the PC accounts because
Although 1 of the 3 offices is VPN'd to the main working
domain (the other 2 are total standalone offices)we are
having trouble with the PC losing thier accounts (they
have been disabled) The quick fix is to rename them and
rejoin the domain. Is there a tool or something to purge
the AD to resolve this problem??

Thank you so much for the help!!

Bill

What do you mean by "copy "? Do you mean that you cloned the DC? What
errors are the clients receiving and what symptoms do they experience? Are
there errors on the DCs in the system event log?
