Hi! This seems to be an error that's happening to alot of people and I have read the solution and applied it to our computers but the question I want to ask is. Why is it happening and why is it happening so often? This week I had to solve this problem 4 times, 3 times on the same machine. Is there a permanent solution to prevent this error? Link to the solution is found here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/162797

Hi, Please rejoin the domain to see if the same issue occurs. Also delete the PC name in AD, and re-add it again.

But we do rejoin the computer to the domain but the issue still occurs. We have an AD environment that is built on Windows Server 2008 R2 servers so the hotfix you provided does not apply to us. There is alot of people that are experiencing this problem and I just want to know if there is permanent solution to it. Thanks for the reply Best regards, Philip

I suspect the issue related with Windows Server, I suggest to contact Windows Server Forum for further help: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/category/windowsserver The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us. Thank you for your understanding.
