Re: renaming a workstation

Hi
Weird you you deleted that account you should be able to rename it, did you
already tried in a different workstation?
That error is only showed when a duplicated name exist.
Can you state the exact error that you're seing and the steps that you
tooked?

I hope that the information above helps you

Good Luck

I have a 14 computer network: 1 server and 13 workstations all running
win2k
I recently had to remove #13 and place #8 in its place. Everything is
fine
but I am unable to rename#8 to #13 since I get an error message saying
there
are credential conflicts. I already deleted #13 on the server under
"active
directory users and computers" in administrative tools. Even after I
restart
everything the server must still retain information somewhere for the
old#13
since I can't rename #8 to #13.
