I have two similar problems. I have two networks, one a workgroup and one is
a domain. I need to replace a PC on both networks. However, the last time I
did this...I had a minor error. The new PC's will have the same computer
names that the old ones do. So when I take the old PC's off of their
respective networks and replace them with the new ones...I get an error
saying that the computer name already exists on the network. Usually, I have
to name it something else and then after a few days, it allows me to change
it to the name I want. Why does it do this, and how can I replace the old
PC's with new ones and use the same name, on both the workgroup network and
on a domain?? Thanks.
