I have the same issue. The workaround that worked for me is to remove the computer from the domain and re-join the domain again. If there is a permanent fix to this, I would be a happy camper. It's a waste of time to remove and re-join the domain every time this issue happens.
I also tried this to no avail: Disabled the machine password change on all win7 clients by setting HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netlogon\Parameters DisablePasswordChange = dword:1 Thanks in advance. > Thanks to both of you - exactly the piece I was missing. > > -----Original Message----- > From: t...@tms3.com [mailto:t...@tms3.com] > Sent: Monday, January 10, 2011 12:52 PM > To: Christ Schlacta > Cc: samba@lists.samba.org > Subject: Re: [Samba] Reestablishing trust with PDC > > >> >> >> you haven't tried experimenting with backing up and restoring the >> samba password cache. look in /var/*/samba and /var/*/*/samba for >> files related to the password cache to backup and restore. > > If you use LDAP this problem goes away.
