You replaced John’s hard drive and restored all data from his backup. You added John’s computer to the domain and reset his computer account. However, when he tries to login, he recieves an error stating “This system cannot log you on to the domain because the system’s computer account in its primary domain was missing or the password is incorrect”. You notice that John’s computer was listed in the Active Directory and Computers snap-in. Which of the following should you do to enable John to login to the domain?
  1. Remove the computer from the domain.
  2. Configure the Allow Logon Locally user right.
  3. Add the computer in the Logon Workstations dialog of John’s account.
  4. Rejoin the computer to the domain.
Explanation
Answer - D - To enable John to login to the domain, rejoin the computer to the domain.

Key Takeaway: When a computer account is reset, the computer generates a new password for authentication with the domain. If you join the computer to the domain, the domain controller will negotiate with the computer using the new password.
