Re: Cannot rejoing win2k domain w/ xp pro

Thanks for the help. I went back and checked the workstation's IP
configuration. It was using the DHCP of the router not the DHCP in the DC.
When I changed the setting to fixed IP and removed the old computer listing
from ADUC, the rejoin went just fine.

Thanks.
