If I didn't do that, I had to redo the pc by telling it it was in a workgroup instead of AD, going in to AD users and computers and removing the old name, register the new name, and then tell the pc it was part of AD. Many reboots required for this.

If installed from scratch, the name change doesn't matter - (scoenye) - (2) - May 20, 2009, 12:22:28 AM EDT
