I've a windows 2003 domain with clients running XP pro.
one of the clients broke down and was sent to repair. I'm now trying to add a new PC as the existing domain member (instead of the one the was sent to repair). I've set it's IP the same as the old one, and have set it's name as the old one.
now when I try to login I get an error message stying the trust relationship to the domain has failed (1789)

Hi

I would avoid using the same computer name, it may cause some programs problems.

If you go to >>Start > Control Panel > System >Computer Name [tab]

Run the "Network ID" wizard to connect the PC to the domain.

Here is the MS Knowledge Base Article for your error for reference, but the above should be all you need do.
