cannot add computers to domain

[Guest MShapira]

Hi

I have school domain of 30 identical XP machines, all computers have to same

hardware/software configuration duplicated with ghost.

it has been working for a few week, but now i hve to re-clone the ghost onto

5 computers (for software installation reasons). I copied from one working

computer to 5 others, and now when I try to add theese computers to the

domain, I get the following error (transalated):

"cannot add computer to domain because the is not enough disk space on

domain computer or controller"

my account is the domain administrator, i have plenty of HD space on the

server, im stuck!

Thanks

RE: cannot add computers to domain

 

Not sure if this is the same case, but in the past I had an error similar to

that.

The cause (after days searching) was that my user was member of too many

other groups and worse, they were all nested into other groups.

Hello MShapira,

 

Have you syspreped the cloned machines before adding them to the domain?

RE: cannot add computers to domain

 

possibly not, however, the i tried to add to domain when all other computer

were off, to maek sure i don't get network conflicts, and i changed the name

of the computer+restart before attempting to add

also, the i tried from an existing (not from the cloned copy) computer

(removing + adding to domain) and i get the same error

RE: cannot add computers to domain

 

Hello MShapira,

 

Even if you change the name of the computer you have the SAME Security Identifier

which can create a lot of problems. Like you have now. Every SID should only

exist ONE TIME in the complete domain.

 

Please run sysprep on the machines before adding them to the domain. It will

delete the SID which is in use.

 

Here you can download it:

RE: cannot add computers to domain

 

There is a utility called NewSID which will do this without all the grief of

sysprep.

http://sysinternals.com

 

Also you need to remove the old entry from the AD first, if the new computer

is to have the same name.
