Re: Random "computer account was not found" broken profiles Server



sounds like network connectivity or configuration problem

Some important errors might be:

Userenv None 1053 SYSTEM CLIENT-110 (Windows cannot determine the user or
computer name)

Netlogon None 3210 N/A CLIENT-110

The second one appears to show up for the first time when the machine
cannot
connect to the domain again.

"cannot connect to the domain, either because the domain controller is
down
or otherwise unavailable, or because your computer account was not
found"

We are running a 20-seat Server2003 license and a mixed
XPPRO/XPMediaCenter(Home) environment. I believe we do not have more
than
20
clients in the domain at anyone time but surely even if we did this
would
not
corrupt a profile/hive, right? Seemingly randomly we are having clients
shutdown at night and then unable to login to the domain the next
morning
with the account that worked the night before. The error above is
given.
Other Accounts still work fine. Obviously this is not acceptable - it's
making me look like an idiot. It's happening often enough that it
really
is
becoming an issue.

I've seen quite a few posts on this but never any specific answers on
what
the issue is? Yes, rejoining the domain "fixes" the issue in that we
can
once
again login to the domain with the problem account. I'm gathering that
there
may be no good fix once the hive is disconnected from the domain
although
someone had posted this:

"Run regedit.exe and navigate here:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList:
Now locate the value ProfileImagePath that points to your current
profile folder, then change it back to the old profile folder and
reboot the machine."

I can't imagine that this will work - I have yet to try it. More
importantly
- what is the problem here? Is this the price of doing business on a
server2003 domain? This has to stop.
