Re: Windows Cannot find domain

We just started rolling out images on our new client workstation setups. I noticed that some of the imaged pc's are having an issue where it tells the user after so many logins that the pc "cannot find the domain" after trying to log on, even though they had been logging on successfully for like a week or so. The odd part is, if I unjoin the pc from the domain and make it a local workgroup pc again, and then rejoin the domain, it works for a limited amount of times more, and then fails to find the domain again. I'm completely stumped, and I only added the part about using imaged pc's becasue these are the only stations having this problem.

Did you remember to Sysprep the image before rolling it out on the machines?

If you didn't then you've got a whole bunch of machines with identical SIDs but different names. In other words, a recipe for confusion.

You might be able to use NewSID to resolve this:
