Ghost cannot add workstation to domain

I'm not the first person to suffer from this, but I can't find a good
answer in the newsgroups.

Basically, when I use GHOST 7.5 Enterprise, it can't add workstations
back to the domain after ghosting. I've tried deleting the computer
accounts prior to ghosting, altering permissions, using the NETDOM
update. If anyone has a good answer to this problem, please can they
tell me. Also, my FQDN is less than 15 characters and Windows File &
Print sharing IS enabled on the workstation (XP). Server is Windows
2000 DC, domain = 'SIMSNET'.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Andy.
 
Andy,

You're using Ghost 7.5 to clone Windows XP clients? If so, this will never
work as Ghost doesnt support Windows XP without doing Sysprep first. The
computer's SIDs won't get changed, not to mention screwing up Windows
Product Activation.
