win2k won't join domin

[Ben Roberts]

Try loging in as root, when you 'change to domain' in network properties
(win2k). Make sure. of course, that there is an entry for root in smbpasswd.
After I logged in using the root account, it accepted me into the domain
(welcome to the yourdomain domain). My problem is now that when i reboot and
choose the domain, it wont let me log in, whatever account i use. It gives
this error:

"The system cannot log you on to this domain because the systems computer
account in its primary domain is missing or the password on that account is
incorrect "

So none of my accounts on either machine will log into the domain. ;(

Anyone come accross this?
