I have tried adding my machine to the domain but keep receiving the following error message
"The join operation was not successful.This could be because an existing computer account 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 is denied."

-After checking the Computers OU in AD I notice my computer account with a red cross through it.

-I have joined XP machines to the domain with no problem.

-I have disabled IPv6

Does anyone have any suggestions to get this working?

thanks

And in case you all were wondering, I am joining using Domain Admin credentials.

Any ideas welcome !
Cheers

Hi lenseboy

Did you look at other forums for possible workarounds.?
See:

Cannot join Vista to Windows 2003 domain - Windows Vista Network

Note:- it claims that you have to have Ultimate and Business versions of Vista installed.

Yeah I've probably been through every forum and thread on the web!

I cant find many issues exactly like mine on the internet though.

I am running Vista Business so there should be no issues connecting. In fact, I have already joined other Vista machines to the new domain, all with the same DNS and IP settings.

Ive also tried installing with different Admin account but to no avail.

So I'm calling on all you gurus out there!

help a brutha out

Sorry Lenseboy, I'd help if I could..
I'll keep my eye's open though and if I spot anything remotely helpful I'll post back.
