Can't Logon Interactively
Posted by Fred on February 19th, 2004


SBS 2003 network. One XP Pro machine got corrupted, did a
fresh install, named machine what it used to be named (in
this case STEVEN) re-joined the domain and added the same
user account as before but now this user (or any non-admin
user) gets the error message "unable to logon
interactively" tried to user ntrights to fix but am
getting error messages regarding the SID. Help greatly
appreciated!

In news:1326801c3f714$2fb36b40$a401280a@phx.gbl,
Fred <anonymous@discussions.microsoft.com> posted their thoughts, then I
offered mine
Remove the machine from the domain, delete the computer account from the
domain (from the OU or Computers container), then re-join it. Seems since
you recreated it with the same name, it still had the old SID in the domain.
