Hello,

I have replaced a Windows 2000 Server and am getting event
id 5513: The computer COMPUTERNAME tried to connect to the
server SERVERNAME using the trust relationship established
by the SAMCOTECH domain. However, the computer lost the
correct security identifier (SID) when the domain was
reconfigured. Reestablish the trust relationship.

The only way that could get this to work was to unjoin the
domain and then rejoin. I did that on a couple PC's
(there are 30 total) but then I have to recreate the user
and all the settings for that user are lost.

I tried using netdom.exe but kept getting a "there are
currently no logon servers to service the logon request"
error.

Does anyone know an easier way to reset the trust?
thanks for any imput.

Eric
 
Did you run netdom from the client or from the client? If run from client,
try doing it from the dc.
You can also set up a "roaming" profile for those users (as a temp measure
to save their profiles too) on some domain server, so their domain profile
is saved when the box is dropped to workgroup. Be sure that the clients are
resolving dns properly though so they are finding the dc's to set channels
up with, and they should be able to ping your domain name and get replies.

How many DCs in the domain when you replaced the DC? How did you replace the
DC?

There is only one. I got SBS 2003 up and running as a
file server, brought the old Win2k server off-line and
then built the Domain from scratch. There were not many
users and pc or else i would have done a migration of some
sort.

If you built the domain from scratch, the SID will be different from the
original domain which means each client will see this domain as a new
domain, even if the two have the same name.
You have to join the computers to the new domain, that is part of the
process of creating a new domain.
