Incorrect SID

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.active_directory (More info?)

Hi All,
i'm looking for help on what will turn out to be a major problem. After an
attempted upgrade from 2000 server to 2003 (hardware incompatibility) and
subsequent restore my exchange 2003 server will not replicate with the other
3 DCs on my network. It looks like the SID has been corrupted on the exchange
server, this means that for now i have to manually change passwords etc on it
to match any changes on the network. It also mean i cannot create any new
containers etc. Any thoughts on how i can fix this would be most appreciated.

TIA

FYI: The way to fix the hardware problems are
to perform a "repair install" from the CDROM.

Most probably the computer password was changed
between the backup and restore. Have you tried
RESETING the computer account in AD (users &
compupter or with DSMod, etc.)?

BEFORE you do this, try RESETTING the
computer account.

They added this so that computer SIDs would
not be lost/changed when you have to straighten
out a computer account.

It works 99 times out of a 100, but sometimes
you must unjoin/rejoin the domain.
