Hi Experts,<br />
<br />
I set up a new computer for one of my users (user x) and I gave DT-12 as a name to his computer. I found 2-3 hours later that we had already a workstation with DT-12 name which belongs to (User y) , so I decided to change the name of new computer(user x) to DT-30. When I looked in Active directory searching DT-30 computer I realized that DT-12 computer (user y) name has changed for DT-30. <br />
Have you everhad this issue before . How can I change the new computer name without affecting the other already in place.<br />
<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

Computer name issue in Windows 2000

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
