asked on

VM Failover - Is it safe to remove and then add original VM back to the domain?

Failing over to a Sharepoint server replica (or export), and then failing back, led to a network SID error (backup solution was VEEAM), and the server had to be removed from the domain, and then added back in.

Is this 'safe'?  Are there any possible AD problems than can arise with Sharepoint?

Just asking because Sharepoint seems in particular to be very picky about things that perhaps other servers don't seem to care about.

Thanks!

Thank you for that very detailed response!

What I don't understand though is 'as you only lost trust relationship, just change your computer password'.

If I have a replicated VM that has lost it's trust relationship, and still have the original I need to go back to after the test...  are you saying changing the password will resolve the switching back and forth?

Color me surprised... as i thought a lost trust meant you HAD to add it back to the domain as the only solution.

Thank you, and sorry that apparently I have a 'hole' in my brain regarding trusts.
"computer password" which allows authentication between domain controller and given pc (not user password eg admin)


look at this one:
