Re: Windows cannot connect to the domain on laptop

I tried to rename the laptop but when prompted for a user authorized to do
this it wouldn't recogize the credentials, Same result when I tried to
change the domain name - I tried several user names, none recognized, so
saved everything and reformatted the laptop.

I have set up many laptops for use on our company domain and log into each
one of them at least once before they are issued out. If they are not
connected to the domain I can use the same password for the user account as
I did the first time I logged on, even though it is changed frequently, but
when connected to the domain again it recognizes the current password,
which I can then use until I get back on the network with a new password.

Except for one laptop: I haven't logged into it for a while and when I
put in my current user name and password it does not recognize my account
on the domain with the message "Windows cannot connect to the domain,
either because domain the domain controller is down or otherwise
unavailable, or because your computer account was not found. Please try
again later. If this message continues to appear, contact your network
administrator for assistance." But I can log in as the administrator and
from there map to the network as myself and see other hardware in the
domain. So the network card is OK, my user account is OK, but I can't
connect.

Any advice?
