Am not able to join my Win2k Professional system to WIN NT Domain.

when i try to join i get the following msg.

" The credentials supplied conflict with existing set of credentials"

so then i tried removing my computer account in Win NT Domain from Server Manager. even after removing, my computer name is still listed in SERVER MANAGER. when i tried to delete it again i got the following msg

"Even though it is listed is not currently a member of domain NETWORK, It will be removed from the list at the next update. Which will occur automatically within approximatley 15minutes"

but its been two days still my computer is being listed in Server Manager.

i even changed my system name & tried but no luck same error repeated.

how do i join my system to NT Domain now??

why my SERVER MANAGER on NT Domain still list old member account which was removed months ago ??

Hi,
After you change the computer name join to a workgroup and after a restart try again join to domain. These steps will reauthenticate your computer credentials in domain.

if answer one doesnt help. Make sure your 2000 machine is using the proper WINS settings. 2000 uses WINS to be added to a domain. also if all else fails, force the 2000 box to authenticate using a lmhosts file(no extensions - lmhosts)

go to c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc

place the lmhosts file in there, containing this one line of code

ipaddress PDCservername #PRE #DOM:domainname

example:

192.168.0.2 PinePDCServer #PRE #DOM:pinedomain
