windows logon error
I had a server crash, the drive is dead. I did have a backup image of acronis and I just finished recovering the image. The server boots to the windows logon screen, but I keep on getting this error messgae trying to log on:
"Windows cannot connect ot he domain, either because the domain controller is down or otherwise unavailable, or because your ocmputer account was not found"
I don't think a local administrator account is setup on it, so that won't work.
I'm not sure what else I can do to log into the server. It's running windows server 2003 R2.
Any help would be appreciated.

But I was able to resolve it. I unplugged the NIC cable and tried to log on using the domain acocunt without the server being on the network and it worked. Then I set the admin password, removed it from the domain, added the server back to the domain and now it works fine.
