Hi Peg,
What the KB article means is that you need to log into the Windows VM that is having the machine account problem (use the machine local Admin account), dis-join the machine from the AD Domain (put it into any workgroup), reboot, and join the machine back to the AD Domain.

PS This KB article is only good for solving the automatic machine account password change when you reverted a snapshot to a point in the past for a Windows VM that is part of an AD Domain
VMware and Microsoft Virtualization - Open Source Technologies - IT Management and Security
This describes my issue exactly but I can't figure out how to "remove the virtual machine from the Windows domain" and then "join".
Does this mean I need to delete the VM from my library and then add it again?
Or, do I try to remember what my password was 4 months ago so I can login to the computer (but not the domain)?
Found no results in my searches for further explanation. Please help and thanks much!
