     15== How to Keep VMWare Virtual Machines in a Windows Domain ==
     16
     17VMWare machines will often lose their membership in a Windows Domain (not to be confused with an Internet Domain) for a complex variety of reasons.
     18
     19There seems to be no outright cure except for carefully and regularly snapshotting the machine, and never reverting to a very old snapshot.  Sometimes this really isn't possible.
     20
     21One partial remedy is to disable the password change activity in Windows to reduce the chances of your VM being dropped from the domain.  This is done by adding a value in the registry key:
     22
     23  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINES\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netlogon\Parameters
     24
     25called DisablePasswordChange, which should be of type REG_DWORD and have a value of 1.
     26
     27This can be done from the Windows command line with this command:
     28
     29   reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netlogon\Parameters /v DisablePasswordChange /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
