Disconnect the machine from the network and try to log in locally
first. Try logging in to the machine using the local administrator
account. If you do not know the local admin account, you may have
bigger issues. I have a linux boot disk that allows me to reset
passwords, but if you don't have that tool available, you may be in
trouble. I always like to add the main user to the local user accounts
to allow for login even if the DC is not availble.

Yes, you are right, of course.
How can I check if the computer account is in AD?
I have never dealt directly with AD. I use the SBS Server Manager to
add computers and users. The troublesome client was still listed as a
member of the domain, but I removed it and re-added it to see if
helped. It didn't.
The username and password are the same that have always been used for
that client, so unless some maverick user or program changed the
password (very unlikely), the username and password should work, I
would think.
Your assistance is greatly appreciated! Thank you.

Well until you can get into that machine it is hard to pinpoint your issues.
From what I read it appears when you try to log onto the local machine you
are not supplying a correct username and password.
Your first step in resolving this issue is to resolve why you cannot get
onto the local machine. If you can't do that then you probably will not
figure out why you cannot log onto the domain. Check to make sure the
computer account is in AD. But I suspect if you cannot get into the local
machine you'll never get into the domain and will have to reinstall XP.

Thank you for getting back to me so quickly.
Yes, the connection to the wall jack is good (at least, electrically
it is).
As I mentioned in my original message, I cannot log into the client
machine with either login screen pulldown choice: "NPSS" or "NPSS5
(this computer)", so I cannot give you any IP information from the
client as I cannot reach the desktop.
BTW, I forgot to mention that all 6 clients are running WinXP Pro SP2.
Switching to "NPSS5 (this computer)" in the login window, entering the
username and password results in the following error message:
"The system could not log you in. Make sure your username and domain
are correct then type your password again."
This is a different message from the one pointed out in my original
message when trying to log into the domain (NPSS).
Running ipconfig /all on the SBS server gives the following:

Did you check the obvious first? Is the connection from the computer to
the
wall jack good? Next check the IP on the workstation and post an ipconfig
/all for both the server and workstation. There's no such thing as being
"locked into the domain". What error mesaage comes up when you try? Are
you
sure you're logging into the "local" machine as administrator with the
correct password?

Greetings, everyone.
I researched the posts here, but have not found a solution to my
problem. Perhaps one of the experts can shed some light.
Our SBS domain server with 6 clients has been working fine for about 6
months now. Last week, one of the client machines could not be logged
in. The error message given was:
"Windows cannot connect to the domain, either because the domain
controller is down or otherwise unavailable or because your computer
account was not found."
The client machine cannot be logged in locally (why? I do not
know...perhaps it's because it's locked into the domain).
All other client machines are working normally.
I tried removing that client's account from the server and
reinstalling it. This process generated an error from SBS saying:
"Server trust relationship between this workstation and the primary
domain failed."
I am now totally confused as I can't log in locally to the client and
cannot seem to establish a good connection between SBS and that
client.
Any ideas or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!- Hide quoted text -- Show quoted text -
