Troubleshooting Change and Configuration Management |
The user attempts to use Remote OS Installation to install Windows 2000 on his or her computer, and there is already a Computer object for the computer in Active Directory. The user selects Custom install, and enters the same computer name, but receives a warning message about the duplicate Computer object.
Delete the Computer object from Active Directory, and the Client Installation Wizard creates a new Computer object. Allow Active Directory replication to complete after deleting the Computer object and before trying the Client Installation Wizard again.
Enter the directory service path for the existing Computer object in Custom.osc, or use the Automatic setting and the existing account is reused automatically.
