we got a server on the domain education. we took 3pcs out (not off the network) and replaced them with win 2000 pcs. Ive tried to put the new machines on the network, by using the existing pc name and also user name and p/w. the pc is on the domain education. when you try to log on using the user name and p/w, error msg is "your account is configured to prevent you from using this computer.please try another.

Even though the computer name of the new computers matches the computer name in AD, the SIDs are different. Since the SIDs are different, the computer account can not log onto the domain.

You must delete the computer account in AD and wait for replication to occur. Then you must join the new PC's to the domain again. This creates the new accounts with the old names but with new SIDs.
