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.
