Greetings, Loaded server joined domain & logged in successful. Loaded Sybase 8 - rebooted trying to log in & I get the following error: "Windows cannot connect to the domain, either because the domain controller is down or otherwise unavailable, or because your computer account was not found" If i can i dont want to delete the account dis-join the doamin and re-join, any other sugg? Also there is allot of old computer objects in our AD computers long gone formatted and renamed - how can i find and delete the "dead" computer objects without having to go and do a manual audit and compare that to the AD? Any suggestions and advice will be highly appriciated!! Regards
