Okay, this is driving me abosuletly nuts. I spent all of last night trying to fix
it but no, no luck, it still wont show.
We have a network with a win2k server running active directory and dns. One of the
machines crashed completely and I rebuilt another machine to be exactly like it.
I did not image this machine, just put a new windows install on it.
I deleted the old computer from the domain's list of computers, and from the DNS
entry for that pc's ip address.
I named the new pc the same thing as the old machine, and then I joined it to the
domain. The machine has joined the domain just fine, shows up in the list of computers,
shows up in the dns fine.
The machine does not show up in the my network places (it has folders on C: and D:
being shared) and I can't map to the computer either. So it doenst show as part
of the domain and it can be mapped, but the machine is joined to the domain, and
the active directory shows it as being in there.
I don't know what to do, so far I've replaced the new machine's SID, changed its
name a few times (still wont show up), deleted and remade the machine on the domain
controller like 20 times now, still wont show up, and I've run ipcofig /flushdns
/registerdns I've gone through windows KB and added the SELF property to the domain
in security and gave it permission to register dns. I've gone through multiple resets
on the server and the client pc, and I've reformatted the new client pc once just
for good measure, still no beans.
I can connect to other machines on the network from the client pc, I can map any
other machine on the network including the domain controller, I can ping the machine
from the domain controller too.
Does anyone have and Ideas? I wouldn't care if I had to name the pc something other
than the old pc, but even if I change the name it wont show up.
