Logon Error

[Thnae]

Folks:
I get the following from a desktop running W2K Pro in an
AD Domain. While trying to authenticate, errors out with
the following:
'The system cannot log you on to this domain because the
system's computer account in its primary domain is missing
or the pasword on that account is incorrect'

I log on locally and can succesfully ping the IPs for all
resources in CMD window: DNS, DHCP, Gateway.

I am a PC tech and don't have a handle on network issues.
My network admin tells me it's layer one, but I have to
disagree as ICMP packets do their jobs on a ping.
Help...

While logged on to the local machine as a administrator, remove the desktop
from the domain.

After it reboots, make sure you can sill ping DNS, gateway and DHCP. After
that add the machine to the domain again, you will need access to Domain
administrator password for this

If you get an error message while trying to remove the PC from the domain,
then it means that the security trust between the domain and PC is broken.
The domain admin will have to recreate the trust at his end, by removing the
PC and adding it again
