I have a farm of Windows 2000 Professional servers that contains about
700 machines without a domain. We're constantly swapping out and
re-imaging machines, releasing new builds, etc... Sometimes when
machines are re-imaged or replaced with an upgraded version, some of
my scripts start getting the error "A duplicate name exists on the
network". It's becomming more of a problem and is persistent. I
assume it has someting to do with the browse master caching a the
NETBIOS name and info of a server that's been changed. Is there any
way to fix this (other than by referencing machines by IP as this
would get ugly)? here is an example of what happens:
Z:\>psexec \\ws-g01 -u admin -p mypass -s ipconfig
PsExec v1.43 - execute processes remotely

Couldn't access ws-g01:
A duplicate name exists on the network.
Z:\>psexec \\ws-g02 -u admin -p mypass -s ipconfig
PsExec v1.43 - execute processes remotely
