I have a NT 4.0 server that is giving me
NTBIOS errors in the event logs of Duplicate
machine name. When I run nbtstat -n, it
tells me that a local admin user is where the
conflict is. Due to business requirements ,
I have created a local admin user on all my
servers that has the same name. How can I
resolve this.

Hi,
that?s ok and normal, just ignore the error.
Youv?e got the Problem when you login somewhere in your network a second time. The Machine tries to register the login name again, so what !
don?t worry, be happy

Typically, when you get NetBIOS errors in your event log, it is not do to username conflicts. The error comes from having two computers on the network with the same computer name.
Every computer on the network must have a unique name, so I would verify that you don't have two or more computers with the same name, especially if you have two servers with the same name.
If you find that this is the case, you will need to change one of the computer names in the Network Properties.
I have no servers with the name that is
getting the conflict. It is purely an
admin user on my business servers.

You should have posted the exact message... :-)
Try removing the server from the domain (join a workgroup) delete the server account and then rejoin the domain.
NetBios errors are from machine names and not user accounts.
