Adding computer to domain

I am adding a computer to the domain. The computer was
added to the Active Directory. The workstation also was
previously setup with a default "WORKGROUP" domain, which
I am trying to switch back to the specific local
domain "ASIANCDC".

From the Network ID window of the workstation, I typed in
all the domain information and supplied a username/pw that
has access to the Domain.
I then receive the error "Credential supplied conflicts
with existing credential". I found something on the MS
Knowledgebase that remedy the problem through Regedt32 and
NTUSER.dat. Problem is, which NTUSER.DAT? On the
workstation? Server?The Admininstrator's??

Can someone help?

I have always had better luck taking systems back to a workgroup (out of the
domain) then joining to the new/correct domain.

With Active Directory you need to make sure that the network settings are
correct. DNS needs to point to one of your servers that is running AD.
 
Make sure you do not have any network connections to any DC in the domain
you are joining
 
Open a command prompt and type

net use * /del

and then try adding it to the domain.
