He added it to the domain. When it rebooted, and complained about a duplicate name, he then went into AD and renamed the computer account there (I believe - I'll have to go ask him later). The SIDs of the domain account was different than the SID of the new physical machine he had configured, so I couldn't just rename it. Nor could I DCPROMO it back down to a member server, since it had no domain membership, under the SID of the new machine. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
