It's odd. When part of the domain, I can logon using my domain account and
everything is peachy. However, I can't find the computer account in AD
anywhere. After a while domain authentication fails and I have to rejoin a
workgroup, reboot, rejoin the domain, reboot and so on. I've just tried
manually creating the domain account for the machine. I was able to join the
domain OK but after a reboot I was told the machine didn't have a domain
account, even though I can see it.
I'm starting to lose my hair now.

What is it that indicates that the machine is no longer in the domain?
The domain account isn't held on the machine. It's in the AD on your
DC. You could try putting the computer in a workgroup, deleting the
computer from AD Users and Computers, and then rejoining the domain.

I'm in the process of recovering from a corrupted OS on my Dell PV775N
NAS. For some reason, the computer account insists on vanishing from the
domain. I join a workgroup, fine. Join the domain, fine, Next reboot,
the domain account has vanished and I have to join a workgroup again,
etc etc etc
Has anyone met this one?
