Can anyone please help me sort out this question:

You are the network administrator for XYZ. Your network consists of a single
Active Directory domain xyz.com. All network servers run Windows Server
2003. XYZ has offices in Chicago, New York and Los Angeles. Each office has
one domain controller. Each office also has its own organization unit (OU),
which contains all user accounts and computer accounts in that office.

The Chicago OU is accidentally deleted from Active Directory. You perform an
authoritative restoration of that OU. Some users in Chicago now report that
they receive the following error message when they try to log on to the
domain. "The session setup from the computer DOMAINMEMBER failed to
authenticate. The name of the account referenced is the security database in
DOMAINMEMBER$. The following error occurred: Access is denied".

How should you solve this problem?

A. Reset the computer accounts of the computers that receive the error
message. Instruct the affected users to restart their computers.
B. Perform a nonauthoritative restoration of Active Directory.Force
directory replication on all domain controllers.
C. Restart the Kerberos Key Distribution Center service on each domain
controller.
D. Run Nltest.exe on the computers that receive the error message. Restart
the Net Logon service on the domain controller on Chicago.

Some study manuals indicates this to be A and other D. I am leaning towards
A because the error message states that the computer failed to authenticate
which means that the password for the computer trying to get authorization
has changed.

What is the correct answer?

Thanks for your help.
