The security database on the server does not have a computer account for this workstation trust relationship
- by alex
I have a Server 2008 machine called OTTO
I recently, by mistake, booted up an old machine, also called OTTO (the hardware was unstable, so the new one was set up to take it's place)
I shut down the old machine, turned it off, and recycled it (it won't ever be back on)
Now, whenever i try to log in to the real OTTO with the domain account (mydomain\Administrator) i get the following error:
The security database on the server does not have a computer account for this workstation
What can I do to fix this?
It doesn't appear in active directory any more
I've added it, but I'm guessing this had no effect, due to a different SID
I can log in as the local administrator however
