Trouble with adding existing user to SBS 2003 network

7 Apr 2005 8:41 PM

I had to re-install W2K (SP4) onto a workstation. When I tried to add the
same users name during install, it gave me the following error:

"The credentials supplied conflict with an existing set of credentials"

On an NT network I would remove the server connection under Server Manager.

I have Exchange 2003 with OWA activated, also. If I remove the server
connection will this effect the e-mail (like deleting it?) Any other things
I should be aware of before I remove the connection? Is there a better way
to re-establish the original user connection?

"The credentials supplied conflict with an existing set of credentials":
This message is usually generated when you have an existing
share connection while trying to join a machine to a domain.
Knock out the share connection before registering!

Exchange accounts are not affected by you deregistering and
re-registering a machine.

How do you de-register and register a user account (I'm still trying to
equate NT4 to 2003 Server techniques.)

I never said anything about derigistering a user account -
I wrote about deregistering and re-registering a machine.
This is not quite the same thing.

Click Start / Help / Search tab, then type Join a domain.
There is a detailed guide there that explains the process.

Followed directions while logged on as Administrator to the local machine and
got the message:

"User already exists"

Tried going through the same procedure while logged on as the domain client
and got the error:

"The credentials supplied conflict with an existing set of credentials"

Should I do something to the profile (rename it and let it get reset in
'Documents and Settings')?

By the way, what is this "GREATEST NEWS EVER" stuff. It looks like an
invitation to a virus or malware.
