I am having an issue with pinging a certain computer on our domain. I recently cloned a hard drive that was joined to our domain from a 64GB SSD to a 128GB SSD. I then made sure that the machine with the 128GB was off and I put the 64GB drive into a machine that is exactly like the first machine. I then removed the 64GB from the domain, changed its name and then rejoined it to the domain. It still is not able to be located by pinging although it is found in AD. Do I need to rebuild the entire computer and is it quite possibly an SID issue?

check your DNS server consol to sure 64GB New name resolve to his New IP 1- try ping with IP and FQDN (what reaction) Mohamed Abd Elhamid Abd Elaziz Microsoft System Administrator Abdul Samad Al Qurashi Co.
