We have recently installed a new server with win 2003. I
have been able to add all the clients with no problems
except one win 2000 machine. When I attempt to join it to
the domain it gives the error message "access denied". It
is the only machine to do this and I am unable to find an
explaination for it. We did change the computer name as
that was the only article in the microsoft knowledge base
about this issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated
 
Have you checked to make sure it is using the correct
keyboard Layout, when entering the password are you using
symbols such as "@"
 
It is a standard keyboard layout. As a test I joined it to
another domain which was running NT 4.0 sp6. This worked
fine. Its only when I try to join it to the 2003 server
that this problem occurs. I attempted to join it from the
server using netdom and was givin the same response. I
dont know if its there is a file thats added to the local
machine when joining. It may be possible that if there is
it may have improper security settings. Is there anyone
who can tell me if this could be the case and where to
look for it
