Thanks
for the link Nav.
I use
Symantec (PowerQuest) V2i Desktop (DriveImage). Haven't used Ghost
(Ghostwalker) or Sysprep. Been wanting to experiment with Sysprep but
haven't had the time. I was thinking about that this morning though.
Is there a big learning curve with Sysprep?
I use
V2i for cloning, because I'm already using that for backups of all the
workstations and all the servers. Hard drive backups instead of
tape. Without sysprep, I'm stuck being able to only clone like
machines.
I
really need to learn to use Sysprep. Too many fires burning right
now.

Try looking at this article from MS regarding
'Resetting computer accounts in Windows 2000 and Windows
XP'.
Also, you join the computer to the domain and then
change its name?
Do you reset the SIDs of the cloned workstation
using GhostWalker or Sysprep?

FWIW: It happens to me when I clone a workstation then try to join
that workstation to the domain in order to change the computer name. AD
sees 2 machines with the same name, gives me a notification and lets the 2nd one
in. Then when the original machine with that name logs in next time, it
isn't seen on the network. Then I have to do the same thing you did - with
the original machine. Then all is well again. Don't know
if that will help, but it might narrow down the problem
some.

-g From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brenda Casey Sent: Wednesday, January 18, 2006 10:42 AM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] AD computer accounts being removed Occasionally computers will lose their
account in Active Directory for no apparent reason. Sometimes it is a
computer that has just joined the domain, while other times the machine has been
a member of the domain for 2 years. The computer can only be logged on by
a local account (not a domain account). To remedy this, the computer has
to be disjoined from the domain, join a workgroup, then join the domain
again. As I am sure you all are aware, this is not only time consuming,
but very inappropriate to have to do.
Has anyone else had this experience
and how have you fixed it?
Thanks,
Brenda
