I also have all these computers as members of our Domain. I'm wondering if the computer accounts in the domain reset their passwords or something every so often and if my deepfreeze product might be messing this up? Here are the following event logs I'm getting on my domain controller. I've tried removing the computers from the domain and re-adding them, which sometimes fixes the problem but it seems to just come back. Both Computer Accounts are in the domain and were created less than 3 weeks ago after removing them and deleting the accounts in the domain. -------------------------------------------- Event Type: Error Event Source: NETLOGON Event Category: None Event ID: 5805 Date: 9/8/2005 Time: 5:52:05 AM User: N/A Computer: DC2 Description: The session setup from the computer PSYCH-03 failed to authenticate.

USER ACTION If this is the first occurrence of this event for the specified computer and account, this may be a transient issue that doesn't require any action at this time. Otherwise, the following steps may be taken to resolve this problem: If 'PSYCH-05$' is a legitimate machine account for the computer 'PSYCH-05', then 'PSYCH-05' should be rejoined to the domain. If 'PSYCH-05$' is a legitimate interdomain trust account, then the trust should be recreated. Otherwise, assuming that 'PSYCH-05$' is not a legitimate account, the following action should be taken on 'PSYCH-05': If 'PSYCH-05' is a Domain Controller, then the trust associated with 'PSYCH-05$' should be deleted. If 'PSYCH-05' is not a Domain Controller, it should be disjoined from the domain. For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
