Well, this link might help figuring out the issue:

GON&
phase=1

Personally, I've never had luck with resetting a computer object. The fail
safe seems to disjoining and rejoining to the domain.

Subject: computer account password....

Hi all,
I'm getting an event id of 5722 on our w2003 PDC referencing one of our
workstations.
"The session setup from the computer caeser failed to authenticate. The
names of the accounts referenced in the security database is caeser$. The
following error occurred. Access denied."

This computer has been unable to have users authenticate in the normal way.
The only workaround I have is to logon with the network cable
unplugged(using cached credentials) and then restore drives etc. Which has
highlighted another problem!

The error message on the XP workstation when I try and auth to the PDC is
Windows cannot connect to the domain either because the domain controller is
down or otherwise unavailable or because your computer account was not found

I get the feeling this has something to do with the computer account
password being reset but don't know how to fix this.
How often does this password change anyway and is there anyway of
controlling/resetting it?

I have tried resetting computer account but it hasn't worked. Even tried
recreating the account but still no good.

TIA

Kind Regards
Murad Talukdar
