After restoring a partition from image I can't logon to domain. The only thing I can do is to log on locally as an administrator and register it again to domain. How can I fix it?

you could try removing the machine from the domain, delete the computer account in Active Directory, then rejoin the machine to the domain (it will create a fresh computer account)

That's how you do it. Login to the client locally, then rejoin it to the Domain. It's not "Broken," so nothing to fix.

That's what I'm doing every time but it not so comfortable because there are too many images to restore in one day and I can't go to every user to add machine to the domain. Besides, there are computers that after restoring an image log on to domain without any problems, that's why I thought it maight be some setting that I can fix.

this is pretty common when using images on a domain (the computer account is getting corrupted). this happens when you login to the domain with more than one pc with the same name and differt SIDs. In the future, if you will login to the local account of the newly imaged pc first and run the nw idwizard to join the domain it will not happen. This happened because you or someone else had already logged into the domain with another pc with this same image .
