Hi,
You can delete the computer account from AD and rejoin the domain, not a
problem, then proceed with rest of the recovery, i believe the same
computer name is required for networker recovery of certain saveset's i.e
systemstate.
Thanks

Disaster recovery of a Windows client question
So I am practicing recovering a Windows 2003 member server in a D/R
situation. And the manual is telling me to re-install Windows first,
using the same computer name as before, and (unless I am
mis-understanding) it says to join this computer to my AD domain.
Which is impossible, as the SID (Security Identifier) of the client is now
different, and won't match the one in AD. So I wouldn't be able to join to
the AD, much less proceed to the next step of running a full Networker
recover of the System State.
Which clue am I missing here?
I use NetWorker 7.4 SP2.
Quotes from the D/R manual I am using (which is for 7.3.2, since I
couldn't find the 7.4 D/R manual, but the Windows process should still be
the same)
"To reinstall the Windows operating system:
1. Reinstall the same version of Windows, including any patches, service
packs, or option
packs in use immediately prior to the disaster.
During the installation, be sure to set the following configuration
options as they were
prior to the disaster:
? Windows installation location
? Computer name"
<SNIP>
"2. After the operating system is installed, configure the computer as
follows:
Windows 2003 and Windows XP Professional:
a. Start the Control Panel System tool.
b. On the System Properties dialog box, click the Computer Name tab and
click the
Change button.
c. In the Computer Name Changes dialog box, ensure that the computer name
is correct
and that the computer is a member of the correct domain. Click More"
