DescriptionNetlogon has detected two machine accounts for server "%1". The server can be either a Windows 2000 Server that is a member of the domain or the server can be a LAN Manager server with an account in the SERVERS global group. It cannot be both.
Event InformationCause:
This problem occurs if the computer name is the same as an existing user name.

For example, if you upgrade a LAN Manager BDC to a Windows 2000 DC with a unique computer name and then change the computer name to the replaced LAN Manager BDC, this symptom occurs.

Resolution:
To correct this problem:

1. Shut down the new Windows 2000 BDC.

2. On the Windows 2000 PDC, remove the BDC computer name from the SERVER group in User Manager for Domains.

3. In Server Manager, remove the BDC computer name and synchronize with the domain.

4. After the synchronization is complete, add the BDC computer name and synchronize with the domain again.

5. Restart the Windows 2000 BDC. Note: If the domain becomes a Windows 2000 –only domain, you might want to remove the SERVER group and the individual user names in the group.
