Can`t rename computer computer account is already exists

We have domain on 2 DC`s(1 is GC and the 2nd is DC(Server 2008r2 ent)), Sometimes we need to replace old computers to the new ones. But they have to to be named like the old ones. So sometimes after removing old comuter from the AD, we still have an error
message "Can`t rename, computer account is already exists" where else should we remove it????????

Let's try the following:
- configure the other domain controller as a Global Catalog - this should be the case in a single-domain forest
- force the garbage collection by following http://blogs.technet.com/b/ad/archive/2009/03/24/taking-out-the-trash.aspx
Check the list of deleted objects again afterwards.
If this does not provide the resolution, restore the tombstone of one of the deleted computers (followhttp://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/2007.09.tombstones.aspx ),
rename it , and delete it

i`ve tried all of that except, configuring other Dc as GC, i ve found an article http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc737269(v=ws.10).aspx it
says that nothing would happen if two DC`s will be GC`s, but it vad not been written that this article aplies to win2008r2 only to earliests OS`s, so i`m affraid if something wrong will happen if i will promote another DC to GC, or i`m wrong??!
I couldn`t force garbage collection, but i`ve enabled log as you said, and it seems to be no trouble with it....
about the restoring tombstone.... i ve stuck on the step when i should search the deleted object, because search result "getting 0 entries"
The same thing is about the article that Sandesh Dubey had linked "http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd379509(v=ws.10).aspx"
if i am not wrong, i should go to Configuration in tree of ldp and then to the Deleted Objects, but it says that there is no children.
Please people be patience with me, i really am need your help!

  • Can't create eprint service account, says already exists, won't send password to my email ????

    When I try to create an ePrint service account it tells me there is already an account with my email address. I do have an account on the hp website but it does not accept that password. When I request that is send the password it asks for my email and when I type it in and submit it comes back with the error message to give the email address associated with the account.
    This is crazy and frustrating. If the email address has an account associated with it then why won't it send password info to that email address.
    Any suggestions would be welcome.

    Hi,
    More likely your ePC account was assigned to the SnapFish service during its first registration and therefore the described behavior appears.
    Please try the following steps and check if that may help:
    1. Go to http://www.snapfish.com and click the Log In option at the top.
    2. Click 'Forgot your password?' and follow the directions.
    3. Make sure to log in to Snapfish using the temporary password and complete the proccess to select a new password.
    4. Go to http://www.eprint.com and login using the modified account details

  • How can we transfer product attributes from an already existing site?  We have thousands of items and it would be tedious to do them one at a time.  Is this possible through a CSV?

    How can we transfer product attributes from an already existing site?  We have thousands of items and it would be tedious to do them one at a time.  Is this possible through a CSV?

    There are two parts to this:
    1) It may be that you should have an Apple Education Support person helping you with this. If you have enough computers for this to be a problem, you may benefit from a Server, a site license, and an occasional visit from an Education Support Specialist.
    2) The brief answer, if you want Individual Apple_IDs to control each computer, is to buy new copies of Mac OS X under those new Apple_IDs and re-download and re-Install. Mac OS X is customized to the Apple_ID before it is downloaded.

  • Email: Warning Account Name Already Exists

    The other day when I clicked on my mail app (not the yahoo mail app) I got the sign in screen. I clicked on Yahoo. Signed in and I keep getting this message "Warning: The acct name already exists." The app on my screen says I have 99+ emails but I can't check them. Help?

    Yes, that didn't work.  I called Verizon Wireless and finally got it back up and running correctly.  Here are the steps:
    1. make sure contacts are backed up through backup assistant (see contacts on your account)
    2. power down
    3. remove battery and card under battery (sim card?), replace battery and power on
    4. pull up settings, SD and phone storage, Factory data reset, reset phone
    5. follow prompts, power phone 
    6. add mail accounts back
    7. replace card under battery
    8. power back
    Everything appears and mail is back in business
    I am so happy.  This has been so frustrating for at least a month now.  I should have called instead of visiting the store. 

  • Can't rename my computer and start new TM backup

    Three techs at Apple have not been able to help me.
    I have been backing up a PowerBook G4 and MacBook to a TC wirelessly, and now the MacBook BU stopped working but the PB continues OK. The sparsebundles are different sizes; PB 115 GB, MB 151 GB. After many gyrations with my MB sparsebundle, all unsuccessful, the tech suggested I start fresh with new computer name for my MB (the old name was firstname lastname's computer). So my new computer name is firstnameMacBook. After preparing to do a backup for more than an hour I get the error message "The backup disk image could not be mounted". Same error message I had when my MB BU stopped working. So a name change had no effect. Should I change the name of the existing old sparesbundle? Should I delete it? How? What?
    What to do?
    Bruce

    Sorry. I should have been clearer. I was just wondering if it was ok to do so.
    I had taken my partners computer. Re-installed Leopard, then when I went to do the time machine backup it just started using the original sparse bundle that was technically my partners. I wasn't sure how to get it to start another and wanted to check first if it was ok the rename a sparse bundle?
    For interest sake. I did rename the original bundle and this forced the Macbook to start a new sparse bundle.
    I wanted to keep the original sparse bundle that was my partners in case we had any trouble with my partners new computer set up and migration.
    Hope that all makes sense now.
    Thanks

  • How can I rename my computer?

    I just got a new (used) G4 Dual-450 (Gigabit Ethernet) ((Man, I just love these machines!)).
    This machine has Tiger pre-installed, and came without the install disks. I'm not sweating this, I'll get Leopard soon enough.
    The problem is that the computer came pre-named with an awkwardly long name. I don't much like looking at it on the login screen and it is a Real Pain as the command prompt in the Terminal display.
    How can I change the name of my new system to something like "Leo's Computer"?

    Gee, I'm surprised it was so easy!
    I guess I shouldn't be, this IS a Mac, after all....
    Thanks!

  • Can AS know if an desktop icon already exists in a location

    this code moves a file on the desktop to a specific location.
    tell application "Finder"
    set desktop position of alias "Macintosh HD:Users:Shawn:Desktop:The Matrix Effect - Video.webloc" to {1800, 1000}
    end tell
    Can you ask Applescript if an icon is already there, if so then just add 100 pixels in the code so the new icon is offset a bit. Thanks

    For most (but not all) properties, if you can set them then you can also get them (check the application dictionary to verify the properties you're after).
    Therefore, in this case, all you need to do is first get the desktop position, then you can make whatever adjustments you like:
    tell application "Finder"
      set thePos to desktop position of alias "Macintosh HD:Users:Shawn:Desktop:The Matrix Effect - Video.webloc"
      -- now you have the icon position so move it
      set desktop position of alias "Macintosh HD:Users:Shawn:Desktop:The Matrix Effect - Video.webloc" to {(item 1 of thePos) + 100, (item 2 of thePos) + 100}
    end tell
    If you want some kind of collision detection (to see if there's an icon in that place already) you'll need to get the desktop position of each item on the desktop and iterate through them. It'll be relatively easy to account for icon size (just add an offset to your checks), but handling the text label will be harder (there's no way I'm aware of to find the position of the file name).
    (you don't say which way you want to move it, just amend the offsets as appropriate)

  • Can't sync Movie Rental to Iphone already exists on another device?

    I have rented two movies and have not touched them.  I tried moving one over today to syn with my iphone so we could watch and I received the followin "Rentals in your itunes library could not be transferred to the iphone "_____'s phone" because it has already been trasnferred to another computer or device"  I have not connected to any other computer or device so I am a little confused any suggestions would be helpful.

  • Can I sync my iCal with my already existing Gmail Calendar?

    I am trying to simplify life and that includes synching my calendars all into one. I mainly use my Google Calendar and would like to be able to sync it to my iCal. I tried copying the URL, but it said it would not work....any suggestions on what I may be doing wrong?

    Greetings,
    Suggestions:
    If you both put your calendars into a calendar sharing service like iCloud, Google, or Yahoo that would allow you to share calendars / events directly. 
    Add each other as invitees to your shared events: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iCal/2.0/en/wr36.html
    Use a different calendar program that will share across your local network: http://busysync.com
    Hope that information helps!

  • How can I transfer my i tunes account from my PC to my family computer (Macbook)? My husbands account is already there but we would like to see both accounts on the same computer.

    how can I transfer my i tunes account from my PC to my family computer (Macbook)? My husbands account is already there but we would like to see both accounts on the same computer.

    Copy the whole iTunes folder from the My Music directory to the Music folder in the Home directory on the Mac.
    The easiest way to do this is to create another user with the second library.
    If you want both libraries on the same user account then you will need to choose which library iTunes opens everytime you launch (hold down the OPTION key while launching) it as itunes can only read one library at a time. If you do not choose on launch it will open the last library it was connected to. You will also need to rename the iTunes folder when you move it (eg: iTunes2) because your husband's library will already be in the Music directory in a folder named iTunes.
    You can also leave your library on the PC and turn on Home Sharing. As long as you leave the PC running with iTunes open, you will be able to access it from any Mac, Apple TV or iOS devices on the network that is signed in to Home Sharing with the same  Apple ID.
