Ahh ok, thats what i was thinking. <br />
It's weird though, if I ping computer A, i can use both A and B's name for the same computer. Would deleting the computer from AD solve it?
</div>


<div>
Forgot to add, computer B currently has another name as i couldnt name it what it was supposed to be.
</div>


<div>
Alright, i removed computer A from the domain and active directory. Then I rejoined the domain and named computer A accordingly. Then computer B accepted the new name flawlessly.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
The pinging issue i was having was solved by &quot;ipconfig /flushdns&quot; and &quot;nbtstat -RR&quot;.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I had to switch two of our user's computers and rename them on the network. Our network uses a domain.<br />
So heres the problem,<br />
Now one of the computers has two names associated to it (lets call them A and B, B is the name for the other computer). I can't get it to unassociate B from that computer so I can use it for the other computer.<br />
I probably haven't explained it quite well as it stands but a round or two of question and answer should clear it up. Thanks!

Two names associated to one computer

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

Networking

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.

Network Management involves issues that are independent of specific hardware or software, including email policies, upgrade planning, backup scheduling and working with managed service providers for Desktop-As-A-Service (DaaS), Software-As-A-Service (SaaS) and the like through the use of tools, coupled with manufacturer standards, best practice guidelines, policies and procedures plus all other relevant documentation. Network management also includes monitoring, alerting and reporting, management reporting, planning for device or service updates, the backup of configurations, the setting of key performance indicators and measures (KPIs/KPMs), associated service level agreements and problem records as part of the IT Service Management (ITSM) framework.
