I have 1 user who has a MAC. The name of this MAC was changed and every week or so the system reverts back to its old name. I have a Win2003 DC running DHCP. The IP address is reserved for this systems MAC address under the new name.

What could be going on here?

Thanks for all the input

There are two possible places where the mac name is set: Sharing control panel and the Directory access tool. If the name appears in DHCP, check the TCP/IP network properties as well.
