Im using Acronis server image for long time now and i didnt got a problem like this before, first of all this image saved in 14-12 and in 26 and due a problems with Hardware i needed to restore the saved image, image restored fine (its image for 2003 server with AD and domain) but users couldnt login, everytime someone try to log in its receive messeage indicate a problem with the domain, i checked the domain and find the DNS working fine and machine can ping it finally, when i checked the logs in the server i find that there is error about the machine blh tryed to access the domain and its faild the error is: access denied there was errors from all machines which tried to access who ever the user, i got another error from kerberos and a third one about unable to connect to the time server, anyway , i tried to disable kerberos form windows2003 registry but its didnt help, after trying for long time i find the only solution is getting machines out of domain and assign them back to a workgroup then re join them to the domain that was the solution any ideas about the reason and easier solution ?

Let me see if I understand this correctly...

You had an existing server set up. You had to reinstall it (using an image) and now you are wondering why all of your PCs won't connect to it any longer?

Well... If you are familiar with Active Directory you know that each PC has an account. This account is created when you join a PC to the domain. While you see this account as a computer name in AD, it really is made up of a SID. A SID is a unique identifier linking that PC to that record. SIDs are randomly generated so when you add a PC once remove it and add it again the SIDs will never be the same. So... When you reinstall this image is it an image with exising SIDs that you are assuming will just work, or is this an image that's configured but with no accounts in AD? Give me a little more information.
