Nltest and netdom are still the ways to solve it. Regards,

That's what normally gives the "no logon servers" when you try to log on to the domain, you can get around it by rejoining. We used to use nltest to reset these without rejoining, but that was waaaay back in the NT4 days. There's probably something different you can do now :-) if it's the old "computer account missing" error, then that could point someone dicking around with the account itself, to use a technical term. What's the actual error message you are receiving when an account is "corrupted"?

Not really having an issue with this, but we do have the occasional corrupt computer account and standard procedure is to remove the computer from the domain and rejoin. Always works. Management is now asking what causes this, and I don't have a good resource that discusses possible causes.
