Currently i'm working on a certification in Server 2008. I'm working on managing and joining workstations in the server that I have running 2008.
My question is for whatever reason, every time I try to join my laptop to the AD, i get an error that reads:
The join operation was not successful. This could be because an existing computer account having name "MIKELAPTOP" was previously created using a different set of credentials. Use a different computer name, or contact your administrator to remove any stale conflicting account. The error was: Access Denied.
I have a computer setup in the AD named MIKELAPTOP, I have a user setup with the correct persmissions to log onto that computer, yet I keep getting the error. I've deleted the computer in the AD and recreated it, yet I get the same error.
It is almost as if I have to use another name, and MIKELAPTOP is being used in the AD, which is isn't YET because i haven't joined MIKELAPTOP to the AD. The computer is created, but hasn't been joined yet...
Any insite would be awesome.
