error - Windows can not connect to the domain...domain controller
I’m running a SBS 2003 network and have a client laptop which is running with Windows XP Pro. In order to connect this laptop on my network I cet it up computer account on server, created user account on server and ran \connectComputer on client. Also migrated user profile to maintain the users settings and so far everything went fine without any problems.
But on the next reboot, I was only able to login to the client locally, it wont allow me to login to the domain. Though there is option and put the correct login credentials as created on the server, it gives me an error message saying:
“Windows can not connect to the domain either because the domain controller is down or otherwise unavailable, or because your computer account was not found.”
Any idea what is wrong? Will running the connectComputer will fix this problem or should I delete the computer and user accounts, recreate them and the run \connectComputer? Please help.

Hi, if you haven't tried this, please check if the user end PC had a different MAC Address registered in DHCP on domain controller, or probably there are 2 NIC, one of the NIC were registered in "Reservations" in DHCP.
