SYMPTOMS

Joining a domain with NETDOM 1.2 works fine but results in the following error message when you try to log on to the computer:

The system cannot log you on because the system's primary domain

password is missing.



RESOLUTION
This problem has been fixed in NETDOM 1.3 and above. Contact your local support center if you encounter the problem described herein.
