Windows 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.
