Howdy.
I just wiped my drive clean and have a triple boot win98, win2k pro, and winXP pro setup. On the 2k and XP I need them to authenticate to my domain controller for sharing and scripts and printers.
In my haste, on the 2K install and XP install I named the computer the same name. During XP install I joined the domain with the computer name of "Matt". All was fine, until I went to join the 2K partition to the domain with computer name "Matt" and it took it. Then I rebooted into XP and I couldn't logon to the domain, because the computer had been joined under 2K and the server rejected it.
I think I recall seeing something somewhere about naming the pc on a multiple boot machine different for each OS so ADS won't confuse things up.
Will I be able to join each OS to the domain if they're set with different computer names in each OS and each have established accounts in ADS on the DC???
If so, looks like I'll wipe the 2K install and reinstall under computer name "matt2k" and reinstall XP under "matt".
As an aside-I installed all three OSes in under two hours. Gotta love ATA100. I was wondering why on all my previous installs it took forever, but I didn't have the UDMA enabled on the install drive. 😱
