Was just thinking that maybe Windows Easy Transfer might work? What do you think? The next big thing would be exactly what settings, etc. Do I need to have Easy Transfer backup & restore. Sounds like some homework for me!

Luckily for me, I have been running a full backup every night, so I restored to that and the server is back in order. On the workstation side, I'm probably just going to re-load it with Windows 7. (it currently has Vista.) However, there is one more workstations that could possibly be hit with...

That may be possible, but the biggest thing is that when I try to locally log into the SERVER it gives me the same error! So I have one workstation that is a member of the domain that has the problem AND the server has the problem. That is the oddest thing to my, why would the server be messed...

Unfortunately, I had already tried the suggestion that you gave here and it did not work.I then moved on to the suggestion in the link I posted and that's when trouble struck big time! My big problem is that the server is doing that when I attempt to log in! It's really odd because I did not...

OK, I've had this problem with a couple of workstations in the domain before. With them I just un-joined the domain and re-joined the domain and presto, fixed! Well I had the same problem on another workstation where I didn't want to loose all of the local user account settings so I began...

It's Win7 SP1 It's the only client having the problem, but we really don't have to login to our other systems much because we keep them running. I can't really test on the laptop because I left and re-joined the domain and the problem went away.

The setting on the server was already set to "Not Configured" and I checked on the client and there are no network policies set on the client. However if I run ipconfig /all I do see that a primary DNS suffix is set. (Not sure if this is related or not.)

OK, now for the first real operational problem! I have a laptop that we hibernate when not in use. We have opened it up & logged in several times since the domain changes. Well now when trying to unlock the machine (it exits hibernation in a locked state) I get the following error (with a known...

Glad I could give at least a little something back!

FYI, I now have a completely "clean" dcdiag report. It turns out the DHCP problem was that I had to "authorize" the DHCP server back into the domain after demoting and promoting. I found a problem where it was not handing out an address to my laptop connected on WiFi. I opened up the DHCP...

First operational hiccup....... My 2003 server is still on the network but demoted to a standalone server. I tried to log into it with a domain administrative account and it failed to authenticate. I had to log into the local computer. It this to be expected since I demoted it and it's no...

OK, I was worried about seeing errors in the event viewer and that it could catch up with me down the road. I'd love to get rid of the errors, but I don't want to jump through a bunch of hoops if they really aren't going to cause any problems. Thanks for all of your help! I'm not seeing any...

I'd like to avoid that because I think it will wipe out the personal settings & etc. for each domain user on that computer. (Or am I completely wrong?)

The computer X are the workstation computers in my network. There is nothing in AD Domains & Trusts. When I right click on it & select manage it opens AD Users & Computers and that is where I added the computer account. (Trying to replicate on the server what happens when you join a machine to...

One more question, I'm getting errors in the event log saying that "The computer X tried to contact the server using the trust relationship established by the WTBHOME domain. However, the computer lost the correct security identifier (SID) when the domain was reconfigured. Reestablish the trust...

Time service is running and it is started in the Local Service account

OK, somehow the time service got started since I last rain dcdiag. I then configured the time service to sync to an external source. However, dcdiag is still complaining abot the time service and being configured to use the domain hirearchy and that it can't find a time server. This is really...

So I FINALLY had time to do the demote - rename - promote process you suggested. It appears to have worked. I recreated my domain user accounts and things look good. I do see some errors in dcdiag still, but not sure if they may be expected given my setup. Here's the output: Directory Server...
