I believe it's a no-no to have two computers in a Windows domain. Each workstation in a Windows domain has its very own "machine password". So if any new workstation joins with the same name, the password of the older workstation would be invalidated. So the only way it works is because someone used the great "invention" called "cloning" without having the slightest idea what's he's doing. If the machines have the same WPKG profile, the things will just work. -- Tomasz Chmielewski http://wpkg.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
