I've had this happen to me  several times after restoring an entire machine and
can't really explain why the domain controller stops recognising the restored
machine's account.

When it has happened, I've always deleted and recreated the domain account on
the PDC, and have never experienced any adverse side effects
(the account user profile was still intact, etc.).

In some cases I've also had to reboot the PDC after recreating the account
(sometimes resynching worked, sometimes it didn't).

Hope this helps ....

Hi all,

Can i get any help, please ????

I installed an ADSM server (3.1.1.5) on AIX4.3 with 4 NT clients (3.1.0.5).
For each NT client, I made DRM diskettes, then I crashed one of them after disk
image dump using ADSM.
(NT domain is constitued with 1 PDC and 4 members, not 4 BDC).

I tried to restore the NT client using DRM procedure  ---> OK.
BUT,
My NT member is not recognized on the initial domain, even after
resynchronisation !
I only can log on with a local administrator session.

Is it an ADSM problem ?
Or an NT problem? (beetween backup and restore operations, nothing has changed
on PDC).

Any idea ???

Thanks !
