Not a very elegant way: involves at least two restarts, possible removal of all deployed applications and their reinstallation etc. If you manage to open a command prompt on computer somehow, you should read access denied error when running: nltest /sc_verify: Ī usual remedy is to log-in using a local administrator account, un-join computer from the domain, and re-join it. Users can no longer log in on that computer. If computer and AD changed machine password meanwhile, and you restored only one of them to the state before that, passwords are out of sync. This password is called machine password.įor this or other reason, sometimes one needs to revert a member computer (or an AD) to a previous state in time. The password is automatically negotiated between computer and domain controller when you join the computer to AD and is renegotiated on a periodic basis thereafter. The username is the computer name followed by a dollar sign ($). Every computer joined to an Active Directory domain has its own special account in AD, meaning each computer actually has a “username” and a password of its own. ![]()
