When I try to login to a new Domain Controller I just set up I get the following error. "The system cannot log you in to this domain because the system's computer account in its primary domain is missing or the passsword on the account is incorrect." I know the passwords are correct. Any idea's?

Thanks, Dan

Most probably you might want to setup a computer account.
If you have a win95 or 98 box you do not need one, but if your workstation is a nt4 ws or w2000 prof you need to setup a computer account.
use your mmc users and computers to add a computerwith the name yopu have given it in your network neighbourhood (nt4)or in the network identification tab of the properties of my computer (w2000 prof).

Good luck
