i had 2 domains team1 with a pdc called nt1 and team2 with a pdc called nt2 with a two way trust. My problem is that nt1 crashed and i had to do a clean install and gave my new pdc and domain the same names Nt1 and team1 respectively, now when i boot nt2 it gives me an error that failed to autheticate the "unknown" no log on server on team1 to validate your password. i think it still has the sid of the old nt1 in the nt2 registry, so how do i get rid of the old nt1 pointers still sitting in thent2 registry

Have you tried breaking all trusts and rebuilding them? Also, are there any mapped drives between the two servers? You might want to remap them as well.
To avoid this from happening in the future, get an old machine and make it a bdc, one for eachdomain. If a server crashes, promote the bdc to pdc and then when you reinstall server, your SID will remain the same.
Good luck!

I agree with the first answer that it sounds like a situation where you will have to delete the security information for any shared network resources. The usual way to do that is break the trusts, reboot and then rebuild the trusts.
