I'm curious if anyone has implemented a solution to this particular problem?
In AD, a computer account renews it's password every 30 days I believe, so depending on when a snapshot is restored, it may be at a point where the computer account password in AD doesn't match up and that adds a task for the Network Admin to readd the computer to the domain.
So the longest that a snapshot would be kept w/o any issues is 30 days and the shortest is 1 day. It all depends on the last time the computer password auto renewed and when the snapshot was taken.
It's a bit of a pain.
I'm curious if this is pretty typical and everyone simply accepts this manual process?
Or if some have implemented a solution to get around this problem?
Thanks!
There are a couple of Technet articles (see samples below) which provide information about how to modify this behavior. However, keep in mind that this is a security related setting, so consider carefully whether to modify this in a production environment!
