This applies to Windows 2000 domain only.  So if you use one, please
read
on.  If you use Windows 2003 domain you may safely ignore this.

For some reason, the machine account changes is not working as expected
in Windows 2000 (more specifically in MATRIX) :-(.  This applies only if
you
are joining the domain again.  If you've already joined, this should not
be a
problem.

The workaround is that you have to reset the machine account
password *before* you join the domain.  Please do as follows.
-	Logon the DC as domain admin (eg. enguser)
-	Run Active Directory users and computers MMC
-	Find your computer object (eg. eng60-1) for your vserver
-	Select it and right mouse click and select Reset password and
reset the password
-	Now do your thing at the filer to join the vserver to the
domain.

Sorry for the inconvenience.  We continue to look into the problem and a
fix.

Ron B[ee]
