I got a machine that cannot be added to the domain. It seems that someone deleted the OU which had the servers and never restored it. So, I am not attempting to apply group policy to one of the computer and getting some errors. We have disjoined the computer from the domain and it was successfully done. But when we are trying to rejoin the computer to the domain then I am getting an error message that states "The computer failed to join the domain "domain.lab". .. failed to update the dnshostname and/or ServicePrincipalName in its Active Directory Computer Account." I have tried to stage the machine by going to ADUC and create computer with the same name but still get message "Windows cannot create the new computer object because the pre-windows 2000 computer name "mtl-prnsvr" is already in use. Select another name and then try again." Any ideas? Thanks
