RIS Client Installation Problems

I have been experimenting with RIS on a Windows 2003 Server. I have
succesfully installed the services, added the Flat OS installtion files for
Windows 2000, and XP Pro. I have also been able to boot a client and run
RIPREP to create a custom image on my RIS server. Just when I though the
hardest part of the process was over, I have reached a stopper. I cannot get
the image or the FLAT OS installations to come back to my test PCs. I am able
to boot to the PXE environment, login, and select my installation(Image).
After selecting my installtion type, I am met with the "erase all data"
warning. After going past that, I receive a message that I have an Invalid
computer name Error 00004E23. This happens no matter what installation type
I choose. What have I done wrong? DHCP is authorized and communications
and rights to the server look like they are working perfectly.
 
Go into Active Directory and delete the old computer name and you will be
able to RIS the machine.
