Duplicate Computer Names

I have a parent domain and 1 child domain at the moment.

Every computer that gets added to the child domain when booted will recieve
a message "A duplicate name exists on the network".

I am assuming this is because my DHCP is registering the name in DNS under
the parent and the child is registering under the child. When I point the
workstations to another DNS other than the production DNS, they get the same
error.

Any suggestions?
 
A duplicate NetBIOS Name exist on the network.

All 57 computers on the child domain get the message.

If the computer is removed from the child and added to the parent, the
message goes away.
 
May computers are named the same in the parent domain as the child domain.
