Getting this message: "A user account with this name
already exist on the network. You must run the wizard
again and specify a different name." Meaning?

I am trying to create a distribution group by the
name "service" and it fails and tells me that the wizard
fails to create group. Then i tried to create a user
account by the name "service" and i get the previus error
message. If i trie to create a account by the same name as
an existing it fails on step 1 in wizard. Previus fails on
wizard finish.

Help
