Hello, I am installing Windows NT Server as a Backup Domain Controller of a Windows 2000 Server. When it comes-up at screen where it asks about Domain name (where this server will participate as a Bacup server), administrator name and password, when I provide all information and press next it gives me an Error that "The machine account for this computer either does not exist or is inaccessible"
Now when I creat an account for this Computer in Windows 2000 Domain Controler and then I proceed installation in Backup Server (WindowsNT machine) then it again gives an Error that "The Computer name is already configured as a Workstation or Server on the domain. Please contact your domain administrator"
Now please write me the steps thats I follow to configure my Backup controler for Win2000 server. Please help to solve this problem I will really be thankful to you.
