I am doing a little bit of administration on the computers running XP
in my lab. The problem is that when i try to login, the computer says
it cannot contact the domain controller.
My question is, is there somewhere a list of allowed hostnames that can
login to the domain? Because if there is, i suspect that one computer's
name is not on that list. If so, what's that list called? What
program do i use to change that list or add a computer?
Here's the situation.
Computers are named by building, room, computer number. There is a
computer in there named
building-room-19
I think it is supposed to be
buildingroom-19 (without the dash, since that's how all the other ones
are named).
when i try to change it to buildingroom-19 it says that name already
exists.
but, as it is, the computer can't login to the domain, and i can't
login to the computer (using my username on the domain). This, even
though the computer is connected to the network (i can access the
Internet). that's why suspect it's just a naming problem.
So, is there some where that i can just add the current computer's name
to the domain? or am i way off here and something else is going on?
