tried that...its as though the ghost image is causing a replication problem..the test machine that was used to ghost was on the network at the time!!

ahhhhhh...got it...the ghost image is an image of a workstation that is already on the network..need to do a clean ghost of a PC with no naming convention..

its ok...i make sense to my self!!!

thank you

Doesn't sound like sysprep had been run just a straight disk image so yes the way forward is to sysprep the machine you want to image so that computer name, account and sids are removed and then when you build a new machine with the sysprep image you will be prompted to give it a name and add it to the domain at which point it will go into AD as a new machine.

Edit - Oops too late as usual.
