duplicate user on network ?

[plizarralde]

Hi everyone !!!

I've made a windows xp unattended CD, and beside the problems of the drivers, when I test in Virtual Pc, on the first boot give me a message error "there is a duplicate user on network" ? What does it mean ? It's a problem with Virtual Pc or on a real installation nothing happens ?

TIA.

Does it really say duplicate user? Or does the message say something like: 'The computer name already exists'?

If the computer name already exists, check and see if there is another VM with the same name as the one you are trying to build. Rename one of the two VM's to another name and see if your error goes away.

solution is very simple go to my computer right click go to properties

change the name of your computer to MSFN

reboot your computer.

start your VM and try your U.A. again
