silvatomas Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 Hi!Today when i arrived at the office and started booting the 18 pc's we have all of them gave an error stating that there is a duplicate name on the network. There isn't We don't have a domain, it's a workgroup, all pc's are Windows Xp Sp2. Changing the computer names didn't work, neither rebooting them works...Hope someone can help...

firefoxthebomb Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 even though you do not have a domain, the windowx xp sp2 workgroup computers have the ability to see if there is already a computer on the network with that name. Did you image these computers and then change the name. Check all computers to see if there is one that is the same. Also if you imaged them you need to change not only the name but the SID too, you can use a program like ghstwalk.exe to boot with and then change the name and the SID. PM me if you need help.

silvatomas Posted June 9, 2005 Author Share Posted June 9, 2005 Hi!No i didn't imaged them, they just had this problem from one day to another...I've already solved the problem (i was being pressed to solve it by my boss ), i changed the workgroup in every computer from "Gecaf" to "Work". I still don't know what caused this but at least i know how to "short"-fix-it If anyone has any other info please post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
