A full disk backup image of win7 embedded was created by ghost after the machine joined AD 5 month ago
last week,the hard drive is broken,we restore the machine after replace the HD.
booting up is ok,but we can not login with the ad account.
error msg: lost trust relationship with domain controller.
after same research ,we believe its a machine password issue.
netdom is the right tool for reseting the machine password,but we can not find such command for win7 embedded.
where can i get this?

    If you are admin of the Windows 7, you could try to reset the computer password using the nltest command:

    Open a Command prompt using Admin rights

    nltest /sc_reset:Domain\DC_Name

    ex: for a domain called lab.net and a DC called DC01, the command will be:

    nltest /sc_reset:lab\DC01

    Hello

    Windows Embedded has a write lock/filter that might prevent this changes, check about it and how to diable here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/embedded/ff769914(v=winembedded.60)?redirectedfrom=MSDN

    In the case of this version, I would strongly recommend to commit a manual rejoin to the domain

    Best regards!
