On a Win2k (SP4) machine called ABC16, when try to create
a new user also called ABC16 the system complained "The
user ABC16 could not be added because this user already
has permission to use this computer".

We've been doing the same for many other machines (but all
are at SP3), is the SP4 making the difference ??

thanks,

KK

This will happen when the computer is the same name as the user name.
