Hi, I have a problem where I can join an xpsp2 machine to a domain but, no matter what %COMPUTERNAME% i use, it says "system error: a duplicate name exists on the network" after the reboot when upon successfully joining. If I try to log in as a valid user, i get the "the system could not log you on because domain 'DOMAIN' is not available". I'd just like to stress that I do not have a duplicate name on the network...I've tried more than 4 and each time I have same error. Does this ring any bells for anyone? Thanks, Peter
Do you get the same results if you try to log in or join the domain from another machine? Have you set up a machine trust account? You have to create a machine account for each workstation in your domain, unless you have set an "add machine script" in your smb.conf file, which would do this job automatically. Windows error messages are less detailed or confusing sometimes, so please check the %SYSTEMROOT%\Debug\NetSetup.log file on the client computer to have more information about the problem. 2008/6/21 Peter Hartmann <ascensiontech@gmail.com>:> Hi, I have a problem where I can join an xpsp2 machine to a domain > but, no matter what %COMPUTERNAME% i use, it says "system error: a > duplicate name exists on the network" after the reboot when upon > successfully joining.

Thanks all. I had my workgroup name set as the same as my netbios name. When I changed the workgroup all was well. Is that common knowledge?

Your xp version is home? if so, xp does not bind to a domain.
