I had to do a repair on an NT machine. When the repair was complete, I was able to log on as an administrator, but could not log on to anyother domain. How do I add the machine back into the domain?

In the network control panel where it says the computer name, on the Identification tab click Change. And make sure its part of your domain. You should see a confirmation box telling you "Welcome to "your domain" domain.

It depends a of what options you selected when repairing the nt box.
If the first answer doesn't work , in addition you need to remove the box from the domain (via server manager of the pdc), then remove the box from the domain (reboot) and add it back to the domain.

Just remove it from the "actual domain" even if it is not on it. Go to Server manager and remove it from there. Now you have to join a workgroup, reboot the server, now you have to join the domain again and create Computer Account, use the same it had before, it will join the domain.
And that's it.

Good luck,
