I recently wanted to rebuild a Terminal server which was running NT and install 2000. Not an upgrade but blow it away and start from scratch. I removed the server from the domain (NT), synched the domain, waited an hour then tried to reinstall. Wanting to use the same IP and servername (we'll say Server1), I tried installing as such, however it kept telling me that Server1 had a different SID associated with it. Why, if I removed the server from the domain, did I get that error message? ================================== To Unsubscribe, set digest or vacation mode or view archives use the below link. http://thethin.net/win2000list.cfm
