netdom

Hello,

I have been trying to move NT4 workstations from domain A to domain B, using
the Netdom utility (version 1.8).

I get the following result :

Searching PDC for domain “domain B�.
Found PDC \\nameofpdc
Connecting to \\nameofpdc with user account domain B\username ...
Querying domain information on PDC \\nameofpdc
Querying domain information on computer \\nameofworkstation
Computer \\nameofworkstation is currently a member of domain A.
Verifying if computer account exists on \\nameofpdc

The credentials supplied conflict with an existing set of credentials.
Close all current connections to \\nameofpdc and re-run NETDOM.

I have already found some articles on this matter, but none of them really
helped.

No I changed my script a bit : I first add the workstation to a workgroup –
reboot – add them to domain B-reboot.

Of course if someone would have an idea about how to solve the issue, this
would be more than welcome.

Thanks.

It usually means the computer already has a connection to the
domain that it is trying to join. Net use * /delete usually worked
but I vaguely remember another resolution if that doesn't do it for
you.
