I best scurry around to various VM's and set that key... after first looking up docs about that key.

Couldn't he blank the password and allow them to renegotiate one? I forget exactly how this works, but I seem to remember seeing that somewhere.

So I can't help you salvage the current situation. But if you dust the vm's and start over, you'll just run into the same thing again. What you're fighting with the snapshots is the windows machine changes the password every 7-30 days depending on the version service pack. So depending on the timing, a reverted snapshot won't work anymore. Depending on the timing, every snapshot could have a different password. You can disable machine password changing once the machine is joined and functioning. Join the machine and reboot to get the random password change initiated by the system. My dodgy memory says the original password is the netbios name of the machine and is changed on reboot. Key = HLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NetLogon\Parameters Value = DisablePasswordChange REG_DWORD 1 There are some ms articles about this mainly dealing with replication issues, but apply to machine password changing in general. Off the cuff, here's one: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/175468 Regards, Doug -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4-svn0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFH5zW/FqWysr/jOHMRArRjAJ0Uh7wdyVxbpZZcH0q50sutpCJ3PwCgj9nG U7l9mxG6axaUvoHNZQx+s5E= =BfAF -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
