Also, is there somewhere some file hidden with cache info from the previous workstation name in samba? Reason I ask is because this workstation was already in the WEBNET domain under a name called j-madios$, but I did remove that machine account before I tried to join the n-pace$ machine account. Not sure if that is relevant here. JD Henderson <http://www.landemonium.com> email - [EMAIL PROTECTED] mobile - 919-649-5589
