I have a system with windows 2000 on it and I want to replace it with a new system. I want to name the computer the same name as the old system but when I do this it says the account already exists. Is there a way to remove the account and then addit again when the new system is added to the domain using hte same computer name.

Yes, go into Active Directory Users and Computers. Find the computer account - probably in the Computers OU unless it was moved. Deleted the account.

Now you should be able to add your computer to the domain
