can someone assist?

I have a Windows 2000 domain. I have created a windows 2000 pro image for my domain. The origional source desktop tested fine. I was able to log into the 2k domain, and I was able to get the domain policies puched down by a domain GPO.
The real problem is when I change the computer name on the imaged drives. After I disjoin the domain, change the computer name and rejoin the doimain. I have a problem logging into the domain (computer account error). I then try to manage the computers in Ative directory users, goups, and computers. Active directory cannot fing path to computer. Does the GUDI# have anything to do with this? I used PQDI ver 4.0 as my imaging software. Has anyone been able to successfully setup imaged workstations? Please assist.

Before you image the computer, you should run the sysprep utility, which prepares a Win2K Pro machine for imaging. It removes all the SID information and restarts the image with a mini-setup (takes about 10minutes). Find the deploy.cab file on theWindows2000 Server CD to find out all about sysprep and the tool.
