Event ID 5722 - Unable to log into NT 4 domain

rickpwilson · External Since: Apr 14, 2007 Posts: 2

I reimaged a machine with a fresh XP installation and named the computer the
same name as the machine I was replacing. It was dual booted so the two
computers were not on the network at the same time.
After doing this, I was no longer able to log on to the NT 4 domain with the
original machine. The NT Domain logs a 5722 event whenever I try to log on.
I can unplug the network cable and log on to the original machine with the
cached profile, connect the cable and am able to connect to the server I just
can't authenticate.
I have tried the NETDOM utility as well as NLTEST to try and reset the
secure channel between the original XP machine and the NT Domain to no avail.
I have removed the original machine from the domain and tried to rejoin it
but am not able to rejoin I get access denied or RPC Service Not Avail.
I can authenticate when I boot into the new installation of XP.

I'm stumped on this one.

You can't re-image a machine and expect it to connect to the domain
using the current computer account. There is a secure hidden machine
account password which is negotiated between the client and the domain.
By default, it changes every 7 days in NT. You have to remove the machine
from the domain, delete the computer account, then rejoin the domain and
create an account during the process. Make sure you have disabled the
local security policy: member secure digital channel becuase XP will encrypt
the secure channel data by default which isn't supported by NT.

I understand now that I can't use the same name. But now how do I recover?
I have removed the machine from the domain, deleted the computer account in
server manager but as I indicated I am unable to log on to the domain to
create a new computer account as I get Access denied or RPC service
unavailable.
