How would I do that? &nbsp;But I guess what is more important to me is being able to use netdom without this happening. &nbsp;If I rename a pc from the pc, I am fine. &nbsp;I renamed a pc with netdom about a month ago and the old name still exists in addition to the new name.

Oh, so I guess for me it would be more of a hassle to use netdom. &nbsp;How would I be able to remove the names from dns? &nbsp;The only place that I know to look is under forward lookup zones, and I only see the new computer names.<br />

Thanks again

Hi,<br />
If I use netdom to rename a workstation, I can ping both the old and new computernames indefinitely. &nbsp;I don't know how to get rid of the old names, and I don't know how to prevent this from happening.<br />
<br />
Thanks

Using netdom for workstation renames creates duplicate dns or host names?
