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

When logging into a new virtual machine which was recently added to a domain, I am getting the following error message:

The system cannot log you on due to the following error: The name or security ID (SID) of the domain specified is inconsistent with the trust information for that domain. Please try again or consult your system administrator.

  • Did you clone the machine w/o using sysprep (or some other tool that can clear SIDs)? If you did I would rebuild the box. If you didn't a simple remove from domain, then readd to domain should clear that up.

  • Or use New SID tool from Microsoft Sysinternals to generate a new SID.

    Mike Messina : Since this was a cloned Virtual Machine, the New SID tool did the trick. Thanks so much.

  • Apparently, NewSID has been depreciated.

    Any other way except for SysPrep?
