Re: Error joining domain

In news:1145301317.384361.51800@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,
gn3t1c <ggeiger@xxxxxxxxxx> stated, which I commented on below:
I had a 2K server in a 2K3 domain. I keept getting group policy
related errors in the event log. I took the server out of the domain.
I got the error stating the the machines as removed but the account
was not. I deleted the account from AD. Now, I'm trying to join the
domain again and I get the following error; "no mapping between
account names and security IDs could be found". I get now events
relating to this on my DCs or on the server to be domained. I placed
the server in a work group and tried joining again, I reapplied SP4,
and I tried repairing the security dB per TechNet article. Nothing
worked. Any ideas?

What article are you referring to?
What GPO errors are you seeing in the Event logs? Please post the EventID
and Source.
Was this machine a DC?
Can you post an ipconfig /all of the server please?

Thanks,
Ace

Instead of the website you're using, I suggest to use OEx (Outlook Express
or any other newsreader), and configure a news account, pointing to
news.microsoft.com. This is a direct link to the Microsoft Public
Newsgroups. It is FREE and requires NO ISP's Usenet account. OEx allows you
to easily find, track threads, cross-post, sort by date, poster's name,
watched threads or subject.
