Joining an Domain Error

[leeym]

I am trying to attach a new workstation to my WinNT 4.0 domain, but keep on getting the following error:

'Multiple connections to a server or shared resource by the ssame user, using more than one user name, are noit allowed. Disconnect all previous connections to the server or shared resource and try again."

I made sure that the username and password logging onto the domain are unique and that nobody else is using it. Still, the problem persists.

Any ideas?

Thanks

it's a SID problem...

maybe you don't have a unique machine name.

what is SID?

Was that a rebuild of an old server? if so, delete the DNS entry of the old server and also delete the AD entry on the Domain controller.

He in an NT domain so DNS does not matter. And there is no AD in NT4. Probably not a SID problem either. The error message you received was because you already have an authenticated connection to that server. Do you have a drive mapped to your PDC? Printer mapped? The easiest way to tell is open a command prompt and type net use. Look for connections to your PDC and then type net use /delete "connection". Then try and join it to the domain. Alternatively you can reboot the machine and that should clear all connections also.
