| | Joining Win 2000 SMB domain I just bought a new PC with Vista Business pre-installed. I would like to join the domain, but I am experiencing problem. The error message is as follows, The join operation was not successful. This could be because an existing computer account having name "PC1234" was previously created using a different computer name, or contact your administrator to remove any stale conflicting account. The error was: Access is denied. The server running on Windows 2000 Small Business Server OS. The user account that we login with is the Administrator's. And we are very confident that the computer name doesn't exist in my server. We tried many times, and still we get the same error over and over again. We also disabled UAC, and run the sysdm.cpl from command prompt. But these don't help either. We tried connecting to another server running Windows 2003 Small Business Server, and succeeded. What could be the problem? |

| | Re: Joining Win 2000 SMB domain I tried using nslookup. The result is something like this, Default Server: xxxxx.xxxx.com Address: xxx.xxx.xx.x This is the same as what I see when I run the command on other PCs that have already successfully joined the domain.

| | Re: Joining Win 2000 SMB domain I typed in the domain name, it returned me the correct IP Address. I typed in the server name followed by ".mydomainname", i.e. ("myservername.mydomainname"), it also returned the correct IP. "Jeffrey Randow" wrote: Quote: > Type in your domain name.
