Re: Must be going Mad

Hi Talyn,

Thanks for your input. When I checked the event viewer I discovered that
the machine's computer account could not be found. The computer could be
seen on the network no problem. I think it was the SID that was the
problem. I logged on locally and departed from the domain then changed the
SID then rejoined the domain having first deleted and then recreated the
computer account in active directory.

Every thing works fine now.

I think it may have been caused by using copies of virtual machines.

Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction.
