The part that seemed to give me hopw was the line:
The host 63fa3998-2396-4450-b046-a8ceb3bf85dc._msdcs.wtbhome.net could not be resolved to an IP address. Check the DNS server, DHCP, server
I see that entry in ADSIEdit, but the problem is that the entry for the dnsRecord is an octet string and I don't know the meaning of the entire entry. I have been able to determine that the last 4 octets are the IPv4 address (at least in another record)
Thinking that if we clear this up that maybe some of the other tools might start working and we'll be able to clean things up.
Am I just clinging to false hope there?
if I try the netdom method to rename the computer, I'm assuming that I should name it back to big-rig2 correct? So the syntax wuold be:
[code]netdom renamecomputer big-rig /NewName:big-rig2 /userid:{admin account} /password:{admin password}[/code]
Correct?
