Can't login after joining XP laptop to domain
I'm have a very bizarre issue where after I join a laptop to the domain, I cannot login to it with my domain credentials.
These are XP Emebedded HP laptops but I don't think that has to do with anything.
I tried 2 different ones, with 2 different images. I join them to the domain using the "Network ID" wizard under System Properties, and then the system DOES show up in Active Directory, and after I restart the computer and login, I get message saying Could not login, check password.
Then I rebooted and tried again, and it says "The system cannot log you on to this domain because the system's primary domain password is missing".
On the previous laptop I also tried removing from the domain and got something along the lines of "The revision level is unknown", too.
I am domain administrator privileged and my account is not locked.
