Dear experts~

I am several workstations running Windows XP SP2 that would need to be
Re-joined to the Domain constantly using local administrator login in order
for users to log in in the Domain. I have no clue of what's going on. Does
anyone have any idea on this?

Thank you very much~~~

Did you clone the machines (i.e. with Symantec Ghost or Powerquest Drive

Symantec's GhostWalk, or something similar to ensure that each computer gets
a unique SID. If you have duplicate SIDs, then they'll have trouble
operating in the same domain. The computers have an account with a password,
just like user accounts. And with duplicate SIDs, all of the computers may
be trying the same machine account to connect to the domain. Only one of the
computers will have the correct account password, and all of the others will
tell you that "the computer account in the domain is missing or the password
