Computer names mean absolutely nothing except for name resolution.
Otherwise, names are for human consumption only. W2K relies on SIDs. You can
operate 2 unique domains on the same physical network with 2 servers, for
example, both named server1 as long as they reside on different logical
domains.
This does not cause a collision as far as DNS either since the names are in
distinct dns partitions.
In essence, a computer entity \ account in W2K's architecture is made up of
a domain SID + computer SID. Its "name" is irrelevent as far as the network
infrastructure is concerned.
