Yep, I have never known any solution to an out-of-sync, non-DC machine password besides disjoin and rejoin (without rebooting); you can keep the same domain SID by entering unprivileged/bogus credentials during the disjoin, which will cause the deletion of the existing machine account to fail.
You'd think there would be another way, as a "reset" machine account's password is "machinename$" or similar. --Steve On Tue, Apr 10, 2012 at 2:00 AM, Ken Schaefer <[email protected]> wrote: > This will reset the password for that computer on DCs only, requiring > the machine to be disjoined/rejoined to the domain**** > > ** ** > > To OP: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/216393**** > > ** ** > > Cheers**** > > Ken**** > > ** ** > > *From:* Christopher Bodnar [mailto:[email protected]] > *Sent:* Tuesday, 10 April 2012 2:46 AM > > *To:* NT System Admin Issues > *Subject:* Re: Machine name with $ sign as username**** > > ** ** > > In ADUC you can right click a computer object and "Reset Account" I > usually have better luck removing a computer account from the domain and > re-joining it. > > **** > > *Christopher Bodnar* > Enterprise Achitect I, Corporate Office of Technology **** > > Tel 610-807-6459 > 3900 Burgess Place, Bethlehem, PA 18017 > [email protected] **** > > > * > The Guardian Life Insurance Company of America* > * > *www.guardianlife.com **** > > > > > > > From: "Rankin, James R" <[email protected]> > To: "NT System Admin Issues" <[email protected] > > > Date: 04/09/2012 02:22 PM > Subject: Re: Machine name with $ sign as username **** > ------------------------------ > > > > > In the NT4 days, nltest was the way to reset it...I have no idea how its > done now > > ---Blackberried > > -----Original Message----- > From: "Michael B.
