Windows DomainsWindows Domains

If the PC has been joined to a Windows domain you must run the following registry patch BEFORE capturing an image.C:\DETapps\Support\Source\~scripts\dompassw.reg

By default, Windows automatically changes the password on the local computer account at regular intervals

When you restore an image it will have an 'old' domain computer account password and so the Windows domain will reject the computer ie. prevent the PC from rejoining the domain again

NB. This is the domain computer account and NOT a user account.
