The name or security ID (SID) of the domain specified is inconsistent with the trust information for that domain

My colleague created a WMware Windows base image and I asked him to send a new copy to me because I need an environment of 2 separate (virtual) machines for AppServer (machineA) and DbServer (machineB) for testing purpose.

machineA is a DC and what I need to do next is let machineB join the domain of machineA. I go to the property of my computer on machineB and join the domain of machineA successfully. However, I can't login to machineB after restart and I got an error message: The name or security ID (SID) of the domain specified is inconsistent with the trust information for that domain.

Fortunately, I read this post from google and try the NewSid tool immediately, then the SID and name of the cloned WMware image changed immediately! (BTW, the URL of NewSid tool in that blog post is outdated so please following this link - http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/Utilities/NewSid.mspx
