I have a 2000 machine in a workgroup and I want to bring it to a
doaminserver.
Just cahnging from workgroup to domain is not possible because the new
references are conflicting with a existing group references
Could the source of the problem be the fact that the name of the workgroup
is the same as the domain.
How do I solve it?

First you have to upgrade your 2000 machine into a 2000 server. After that
go to run and type in dcpromo to promote it to domain controller. After that
conifigure it to your liking.

Sorry, I was not clear enough:
I have a 2000 server and a 2000 machine.
The server has a domain X.
The 200 machine is in a workgroup with the same name X and I want to login
on the domain, but I cannot fix that..
 
First on the workstation rename the workgroup into something totally
different. After reboot, join it to the domain.

you may need to cache credentials by using net use command so that your
client and server can establish the trust.
