Replacing workstations on a SBS2003 network. How do I connect the new
workstations to the SBS2003 network for existing users? The users
with new workstations are setup and ready to be attached to the
SBS2003 network. When I tried using the same method to attached the
new workstation to the network for the user by logging on as
administrator and using "domain/connectcomputer", however, when I
select the user that I am trying to setup on the new box everthing
seems to be fine, but then when I select next to go to the next page
there are no computers listed to select and only choice is to either
go back or cancel. When selecting additional information it tells
me that I need to delete the user and set the user all over again,
seems counterproductive. Can anyone tell where I am going wrong.
Thanks.

You're not really replacing - you're adding & then removing. Create new
computer accounts in Server Management and then use/connectcomputer.

When you're all done, disjoin the old computers from the domain/remove their
accounts from AD.
