Old computer name hangs on network
Hi
I had an old NT server with computer name: ntsrv03. this server is now shutdown(closed).
What I now want to do is: send all requests to the old server (ntsrv03) to the new instead (dksvfile). I have created a DNS record on my DNS server, pointing ntsrv03 to dksvfile, pings work fine. But when I try to access dksvfile by typing \\ntsrv03, this error shows: duplicate names exists on the network.
I have removed all old WINS entries.
Any ideas?

Ntsrv03, was the old filer server only a member of an old domain controller. win NT
dksvfiler is the new file server and member of a new domain controller, win2003
dksvfiler is the new file server and member of a new domain controller, win2003
ASKER
I have deleted ntsrv03 from the domain controller's server manager
sorry misread...
is dksvfiler a PRIMARY domain controller? If so synchronize in SERVER MANAGER

2. Apply the following registry change to the file server. To do so, follow these steps: a. Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).
b. Locate and click the following key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\
c. On the Edit menu, click Add Value, and then add the following registry value:

Data type: REG_DWORD
Radix: Decimal

I have accepted your answer becurse I did not want to delete this Question.
Cool.. thank you!
If so, then
go to SERVER MANAGER, delete all the computers that are listed.
On the workstations, rejoin the network
