Actually the error message I'm getting does not say anything about the
Password change but this started happening after I changed the
password. Now here is the issue, I tried joining a machine to the
domain and get a message that the DC with the name specified cannot be
contacted or reached. When I check the detail in the error message, it
tells me about the DNS address specified on the pc cannot resolve to
the DC. This may sound weird but that's the whole scenario. I'm
thinking of checking the DNS settings on the DC again and see what's
the situation or demoting and promoting the DC again.......don't know
if that's a better idea.

Thanks.
