Hello,

my bet is, that your "short" server name is resolved to the same name, 
as your "long" server name is.

If you have something like this in your /etc/hosts:
192.168.10.100		S058002

You'll get this error. You actually need:

192.168.10.100		S058002 S058002.DS1.AD.DOMAIN.COM

to make it work. Otherwise you'll get some sort of "twice the same name 
- error" from the server - and net reports an error. But that's after 
"net" has added the machine account and is trying to set some more 
parameters.

Bye,
Martin
