Windows XP Pro SP2 client. Windows 2000 domain.
I am installing new (replacement) computers at a client. User
computers are named after their user, for example "Joe". When I build
up a new computer for a user, such as Joe, I name it "Joe1". After
build completion and swapout with the old computer, I want to rename
the new computer from "Joe1" to "Joe". To do this, I use the Computer
Name applet in System Properties. First, I removed the computer from
the domain and added it to a workgroup by the same name as the domain.
I then changed the computer name to "Joe" using the same applet. I
then attempted to add the computer back to the domain using the same
applet. This failed with the following error message:
---
Computer Name Changes
The following error occurred attempting to join the domain "LAN":
Multiple connections to a server or shared resource by the same user,
using more than one user name, are not allowed. Disconnect all
previous connections to the server or shared resource and try again.
---
I removed all mappings (mapped drives and printers) to server
resources that had been set up and tried again. Same result.
While trying to do this I am logged into the computer as the local
administrator, I am not logged into the domain. I am asked for server
credentials to add the computer to the domain and then a short time
later the error message appears.
Can anyone provide guidance on what is happening and how to correct?
Tnx es 73!
