Any Ideas?
HELP HELP HELP
Fired!

 

[Stiddy]

Is it a BDC or member server?

 

[Stiddy]

Try adding an account in server manager with the new name and then rebooting the server. Then once the server starts the netlogon service should contact the PDC to authenticate.

Thank you!
You saved my sorry ass from being fired!

Thanks YOU
It worked.

Now my only question, is how do I reset the Local Admin account password, if i don't know it?

 

[Stiddy]

Well, I am guessing that it is a member server considering that BDC's dont have local admin accounts. If you can login to the domain on the member server, then login as the domain admin for that domain. Then run from the command line:

usrmgr \\TheServersName

this will pull up all of the local accounts on the server and you should be able to double click the local admin account and restrike a new password!
