Murad,
The computer account in the domain is not working properly. First check
to see if the computer account is disable. If it is not disabled, try
removeing the computer from the domain (Make sure you know the
Administator password) and rejoin the domain.

Subject: computer account password....
Hi all,
I'm getting an event id of 5722 on our w2003 PDC referencing one of our
workstations.
"The session setup from the computer caeser failed to authenticate. The
names of the accounts referenced in the security database is caeser$.
The
following error occurred. Access denied."
This computer has been unable to have users authenticate in the normal
way.
The only workaround I have is to logon with the network cable
unplugged(using cached credentials) and then restore drives etc. Which
has
highlighted another problem!
The error message on the XP workstation when I try and auth to the PDC
is
Windows cannot connect to the domain either because the domain
controller is
down or otherwise unavailable or because your computer account was not
found
I get the feeling this has something to do with the computer account
password being reset but don't know how to fix this.
How often does this password change anyway and is there anyway of
controlling/resetting it?
I have tried resetting computer account but it hasn't worked. Even tried
recreating the account but still no good.
TIA
Kind Regards
Murad Talukdar
