AD and computer account

Hello,

Windows server 2003 SP1, domain controller

A computer account PC1 has been deleted some time ago
The XP PC1 computer cannot open a server session. It is normal

I recreated in AD the computer account PC1 and it still does not work. Not possible to open a server session
It gives the classic message: the domain cannot be found of the computer account does not exist

in event viewer of the server it logs a netlogon error ID 5722
that the computer PC1 cannot be found in the database

How can I re-open a session in this computer ?
I lost the local admin password, so I cannot remove the PC1 form the domain and reintegrate it in the domain.

It is not possible to re-authenticate XP PC1 to the network unless you log in locally with an account that has admin privileges so that you can setup the PC to WorkGroup, then back to Domain.

You'll need to focus your effort to get back that local account instead of the server side. There's nothing that can happen there.

Here's a great article that gives you multiple option to recover that admin account.

Remove computer from active directory. Then computer from the computer having the issue, remove it from the domain (add to a workgroup). Restart it. Add it back to the domain then restart. Should be good after that.
