SBS 2003 R2 and Vista Enterprise - Trust Relationship

Hello:

We are running SBS 2003 R2 with 5 clients with WinXP. We have Vista
Enterprise on one client and cannot signon to the Server without getting the
error message: "The trust relationship between this workstation and the
primary domain failed", even with administrator signon.

The Vista w/station was connecting to the server, but failed after I deleted
the client workstation on the server while trying to resolve another issue.
Any help on reconnecting this Vista w/station would be appreciated.

Charlie

Recreate the client workstation on the server. Then unjoin and rejoin the
workstation to the server:

How to properly rejoin a client workstation to an SBS 2003 Domain
(make sure you know the local admininstrator password on the workstation
before unjoining)

Hello Merv:

Thanks for the quick response. We don't have the local administrator
password - where does that leave us with your advice? Thanks.

Charlie

In case Merv has gone on to other duties, any Domain administrator can change
the local admin password. Or, if you have issues with this there are free
programs to reset the local admin password.

Try loging on to the system in question as the domain admin and see if you
can change the local admin password or create a new local admin.

And/or... unplug the workstation's Ethernet cable and see if you can log on
with cache credentials. If you can log on, change the local administrator
password. Then rejoin.
