Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is a University envirinment. We are running an AD 2000 environment and adding the machines with a Domain User account that is a member of the local box's administrators group. When we add a machine to the domain the first time it works great, but if the machine is reworked and added again (using the same computer name), we get an "access denied" error. If we use a domain admin account we have no problems (of course), but our networking department recently found out we were using an admin account and took it away from us. Is there any type of account that can re-add machines without being a domain admin? Or any way to fix active directory to clear the old record out when the machine attempts to join? Thank you for your time and brainpower. -Richie
