forgot something :
The old name of this error computer is Graphic1 . After error , I changed
it to Randy and deleted Graphic1 from ADUC .But after I opened my network
place - entire network , I can saw both computer name : graphic1 and randy .
When I tried to open randy , error appeared as "target account is incorrect
"

I think you pretty much solved it - reboot or run ipconfig /flushdns and
nbtstat-RR on all computers. Also check to make sure there are no hosts or
lmhosts files for Graphic1 (or AM1) and delete any DNS records and DHCP
lease.
