Guest Aussie Rules Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 Hi, I have had to rebuild the DC and have used the same machine and domain names. I have a few client machines (vista) that log onto the domain. Is there an easy way to re-connect these machine into the domain without having the client (vista) recreate the user accounts. (ie where the vista machine seems to create a new user firstname.001) THanks
Guest Meinolf Weber Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 Re: adding machine into a rebuilt DC Hello Aussie, If you have had only one DC and that was crashed and you could not rebuilt it from a backup, so that you start complete new, you have to add the computers to the domain again and also have to create new usernames. This results in the username looking like yours. Even if all names during the new building of the domain are the same, the domain, all machines and all accounts/groups etc. will get a new SID. That's the reason that you now have accounts looking like you describe and that a domain user have no access to the other profile.
