I meant to add the line: I have almost my whole environment set up, if anyone is looking for any specific pointers or assistance... regards, Glenn Sullivan, MCSE+I MCDBA David Clark Company Inc. ________________________________ From: windows2000-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:windows2000-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Bill Beckett Posted At: Tuesday, June 08, 2004 3:22 PM Posted To: Windows 2000 Conversation: [windows2000] Re: Trust problem Subject: [windows2000] Re: Trust problem Fair enough, fair enough.

I have never had luck getting a ghosted machine to join the domain cleanly... a RIS'ed machine, sure. A ghosted syspreped machine... sure. A ghosted member, using SidWalker or NEWSid, never. Frankly though, I have found that it is better to spend the time getting your software to deploy via GPO, and using the CD-based RIS install with an answer file. Then you will almost never have incompatible image problems, as the install is a regular cd-based install, not some sort of clone. My $.02... but I'll spend 5 hours scripting something to save 5 minutes per task...

In a 2000 domain environment, I've put together an XP pro workstation as a prototype. First one works fine, no problems. I ghosted it then went it and ran sysinternals NEWSID changing the computer name as well as the SID. However, when trying to log into the domain, it still tells me (The workstation) " The trust relationship between the workstation and primary domain controller failed". What am I missing?
