I've added many computers to our domain successfully. However, the most
recent attempt results in this error message denying the request:

"Your computer could not be joined to the domain because the following error
has occurred:

Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password."

Has anyone experienced this? I can't find a workaround. I've tried every
uid in the active directory with administrative privileges.

Thanks,

Jim

Check to see if the local firewall is on the client and see if the local
client is pointing to the AD dns server(s) only not to any isp.

Why then don't you have a process to re-image the Wks (your Ghost
procedure), change its name to some predefined unique name, THEN join it
to the domain?
That, I think, is how you'd want to proceed.

I have a windows domain with active directory installed. After I use
Ghost
to
deploy the images to the desktops, I then join these machines to the
domain.
Since I am joining them to the domain with the same computer names as
before,
is it necessary to delete the old computer accounts before joining
them to
the domain?
