We are trying to add a server to our network, but when put in our credentials to connect to the domain, it gives us an error saying "bad user name or password". The account that we are trying to connect with is an account we have used many times to connect other workstations to the network.

Please provide more information, including the operating system (server and workstation) Details are different between NT4 and W2K3-8 etc.

that you need to verify the computer name.
I usually see that message when AD requires the name be placed in Active Directory first or if there is a typo between the name entered and the actual name of the computer.

Tried adding the server's name into AD already, but still no dice.

Also, I just added another workstation to the domain a few minutes ago, and it picked it up just fine with the same credentials.

what type of account is it you are using?

The account is an administrator account with domain admin rights.
