I followed Jeff's Swing procedure for testing a move to SBS2003. Everything
tested sofar works.

Now a test laptop running XP that connected earlier connects just fine. Of
another test machine added later (months later) to the test configuration,
the machine account is not recognized. Changing the network name to the
already existing name triggers the question that the machine account is
already found and if I want to use that. Afterwards no more problems.

Now added another W2000 workstation. This time whatever I do I cannot get
the machine to connect to the machine domain as it keeps telling me there is
no machine domain found. It gave no error on the administrator account in
the user domain. Machine and user domain name are the same in SBS2003. If
loged on locally to the WS I can see in network neigbourhood the server and
other workstations.

Any ideas howto correct this before moving all machines? What can cause a
W2000 workstation not to find the computer domain?

TIA,

Fred
