computer name will not register in DNS
I build a machine using a image for a workgroup name, when I use this image on another machine, I ran newsid on it and put in on our domain. Now the machine will not register in DNS. Is there a way to make this work, I know enough now to use sysprep instead of a new image, but is there a way to force the name to register in DNS without wiping and starting fresh? I believe that there may be more than 1 machine that is showing up in WINS, but not DNS.
What kind of errors are you seeing in the event log?
Are you still able to resolve IP addresses using the DNS server?
What happens if you try to run ipconfig /registerdns from the command line?
Also have you checked the Advanced TCP/IP settings of the Network Adapter:
DNS-->Register this connection's addresses in DNS ?
DNS-->Register this connection's addresses in DNS ?

The box is checked for DNS in the advanced TCP/IP settings, I did have this error earlier on the machine:

The name "deployds1056" is the orginal name on the computer, we rename them depending on the department we are putting the computer into.

I did see this before and did check the settings, Still would not show up in DNS.
Have you tried the following sequence:
1. Join to workgroup and restart computer.
2. Change Computername and restart computer.
3. Join back to domain and restart computer.

That was the first thing I tried. It didn't work.
Is the IP address of your Workstation also being used in the Reverse lookup Zone?
