cannot logon after restoring image "....because the systems computer account in its primary domain is missing or password is incorrect'
hello,
i HD died on a server. i restored the image using acronis true image server. it seems to have restored jsut fine. but when i go to log on, i get this error msg;
"......cannot log onto the domain because the systems comptuer account in its primary domain is missing or the password is incorrect..."
i havent changed the passwords! is it talking about the computer object in AD? i deleted the computer object in AD. still no good. demoted to a workgroup, then promoted back to domain, still no good. changed computer name, still no good.
any ideas? i use the administrator password, so there isnt a issue here, the domain admin password hasnt changed since the image, i am 100% sure.

ok, went to AD users and computers, added a new member of [citrix users] and made the new memebr the primary member, removed the primiary member from domain computer
now iu can log onto the server!
the server is nt4 TSE, i try to log onto the server via citrix and i get the same error msg!
everytime i make a change in AD users and computers i run secedit /refreshpolicy machine_policy
i have a DC + a global catalog server also
now i deleted the computer object in AD users and computers, still no good!
