Failed to create a trust - "The specified account already exists." - when creating new domain tree
Gang, I am trying to create a new domain tree in my windows 2003 forest. Mid way through the Dcpromo process I'm receiving the following error at the netlogon portion of the promo:
The operation failed because:
Failed to create a trust with domain ktos.us on the parent domain controller \\sd-dc01.wfnet.com
"The specified account already exists."
Im thinking this is a DNS issue? Does anyone have specific instructions as to how DNS must be configured when joining a member server as a new domain etc ?
The active Directory team was unsuccessful at providing a solution. Im hoping you will be able to resolve.

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
Another thumbs up. in this case, an old long-decommissioned COMPUTER NAME in the old domain matches the NetBIOS name of the new domain.
Regarding duplicate usernames - how about users like Administrator, and other built-in AD accounts?
Are those somehow exempted?
