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
 
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.

Best regards
