And what error message would that be precisely?
</div>


<div>
sorry...the error message in the title. &nbsp;<br />
&quot;there is no user session key for the specified logon session&quot;
</div>

<br />
It's definitely a SID issue<br />
<br />
Laptops cache your logon information to allow you to use the laptop away from the domain. If you took it off the domain (still a member) and then changed the name, it will try to connect back to the domain with incorrect information about its account. This is one of those things that you really want to avoid doing away from the network.<br />
<br />
Anyway, download newsid from sysinternals.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/source/newsid.shtml" rel="ugc">http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/source/newsid.shtml</a><br />
<br />
It will generate you a new sid, and give you the option of changing the name of the computer. <br />
<br />
Do those things, and the domain will really think you are a different computer and it will be like starting fresh. <br />
<br />
Cheers, <br />

I keep getting this error message when adding a Laptop running W2K onto a network (also W2K). &nbsp;This laptop was on the domain before and was just reloaded w/a fresh load of W2K. &nbsp;After that we have been unable to re-add the machine back to the domain. &nbsp;One of the techs here said he had seen the problem before but fixed it just by changing the computer name. &nbsp;Another said that the problem may still exist after that because of an SSID. &nbsp;I've removed the old account for the computer in Server Manager as well as changed the name of the computer. &nbsp;I've also tried adding the account with the new name into Server Manager first, and I'm still having this same problem. &nbsp;Any help here would be greatly appreciated. &nbsp;Thanks.<br />

Error message : there is no user session key for the specified logon session

Operating systems perform basic tasks, such as recognizing input from the keyboard, sending output to the display screen, keeping track of files and directories on the disk, and controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and printers. For large systems, the operating system makes sure that different programs and users running at the same time do not interfere with each other. The operating system is also responsible for security, ensuring that unauthorized users do not access the system. Operating systems provide a software platform on top of which other programs, called application programs, can run.
