Abstract
A method for maintaining domain access of a virtual machine is described. According to one embodiment, a generation of a new computer account password by an operating system is identified. The new computer account password is copied to an auxiliary storage location. An existing computer account password is replaced with the new computer account password when it is determined that a file system of the computer has been restored to a previous state.
