Yesterday I converted one of our Physical Windows 2008 base SAP QAS server to ESXI 5.x Virtual Guest for some R&D purposes. It took around 30+ hours for the conversion using vconverter 6 [as old converters have no support UEFI BIOS. When I powered on the newly converted vm guest machine I received the following error upon login
[I also received same error in year 2014 when our lotus domino server was migrated to new IBM Xseries 3650 M4 series and after every thing got settled i received this error upon final login, what a terrible time that was]
As a quick remedy I tried to RESET the computer account of this PC via AD management but no use.
Finally I used old NETDOM method and it worked instantly.
This is how I solved this problem.
Login with local computer admin account
Open COMMAND prompt
and Issue following command
netdom resetpwd /s:server /ud:domain\User /pd:*
Example if you have following setup
AD Server Name : SERVER1
Domain Name : mydomain.local
User Name : jahanzaib
then use following
netdom resetpwd /s:server1 /ud:mydomain.local\jahanzaib /pd:*
It will ask you to enter new password, simply enter password and enter. [prompt will not let u see the typing so careful when typing password]
After then simply log off and login with your domain id and it will work Insha Allah.
