Credentials Supplied Conflict - New Domain - New User

[Guest]

Hey all
Here is the short version
I cant add users to a new domain, Errors from new user PC saying "Credentials Supplied Conflict with an Existing Set of Credentials"

Here is the long version
I am just finishing a new server roll out. I'm running Windows 2000 Server with SQL Server, DNS server, Active Directory, and Exchange Server installed on it. This machine is the Domain Controller of the domain GMS.com. Everything seems ok(says DCDIAG), SQL Server is fine, DNS is operating correctly(says NETDIAG), AD is fine, and Exchange installed with a minimal fuss(FORESTPREP and DOMAINPREP where first run). But when I try to add the first user to the domain(a test system) from the users PC, I get an error saying, "The credentials supplied conflict with an existing set of credentials." I have tried removing the user and computer from AD, then trying to add that PC to the domain, and nothing. I found a fix in the Microsoft knowledge base(197987) saying I need to modify the registry entry for HKEY_USERS, but when I follow the instructions to load the NTUSER.dat file for the user in conflict, the user is not in \Documents And Settings. If I try to load NTUSER.dat from a user that is there, it errors out saying "Unable to complete". If I try to simply delete the node on the tree, it says I don’t have access permission, but I am logged on as the built-in administrator with full system access; How can this be? Well I know this isn't a big deal, but I can’t find anything on the knowledge base except article 197987, and I want to get this domain rolled out. Thanks in advance to everyone, and hope to hear from you guys with good answers as always. Thanks again
Gerar
