Good information Roger. We had exactly the same problem with a customers packaging server today. I will be fixing it tomorrow morning. I assume I can just use the NETDOM RESETPWD command to fix it. Is that what you did, or was it easier to just add it back into the Domain? Cheers.

It seemed that after a period of time when I would revert to a snapshot on that VM that I could no longer log in to the domain. It turns out the password on the computer account had changed too many times. To prevent this, I made the following change in the registry of that computer: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netlogon\Parameters] "DisablePasswordChange"=dword:00000001 Anyway, hope this may help somebody else that might run into the same problem.
