Adding a new computer to a domain

Some of our network users are getting new computers, and I need to configure them and join them to the domain using the existing users.

I remove the current PC from the network and run the SBS Connect Computer Wizard on the new one. I selected the user, but there was no Computer available. So I added a new one on the server mangament console.

I saw the option to remove the exisiting cumputer from the domain, but I was afraid that it would also remove the user and it's Exchange Inbox. That will not happen, right?

Can I remove a computer named "Room12" and then create another one named exactly the same so that it will be available for the new PC?
 
I have not used SBS, but it should be the same as standard Active Directiory.
Computers and users are two entirely different things. Removing one will not remove the other. You also don't need to join the computers to the domain using their user acocunts. You can use administrator to join them all, or designate another account for joining computers to the domain.

I would first delete the computer from the domain using Users and Computers snapin, then join the computer to the domain using the same computer name.
