It sounds like the computer account/object in active directory has been deleted. Have you tried checking your computer object list for this computer? My guess is it is no their thus it does not have access to the domain resources.

 

Hope this helps,

Subject: [MSUNAG] XP Machine Cannot Connect to Domain

 

I have an XP machine with SP2 and all the latest patches, that all of a sudden won't connect to my domain.

When any domain user attempts to log on using the machine, I get the following message:

 

Windows cannot connect to the domain, either because the domain controller is down or otherwise unavailable, or because your computer account was not found.  Please try again later.  If this message continues to appear, contact your system administratior for assistance.

 

All of my other users connect fine.

 

This machine connected fine last week.

All of the network settings are correct.

 

I've searched Microsoft's knowledge base and googled it but the closest scenario is for a NT 4.0 DC. and

I have a 2000 and 2003 DC.

I've restored her profile but still nothing.

 

It's not a network issue because we can surf the web if I logon as local admin.

 

Anyone else ever experience this? And more importantly, how did you fix it?
