'fraid not. I tried it both with & without making the two accounts
different (actually I renamed the admin account on the PDC back to
its original name & left the workstation one the same), but explicitly
setting the domain name to that of the workstation still results in

failed session setup
cli_net_use_add: connection failed
FAILED

I also tried renaming the workstation admin account to match the (original)
PDC admin account. Still no joy. However, I notice that neither the
user nor the domain I specify are reported after issuing the 'use'
command, e.g. I get:

[pdcadmin at MYPDC]$ use \\\\mywks -U wksadmin -W mywks
use \\\\ptah -U Administrator -W ptah
Enter Password:
Server: \\MYWKS: User:   pdcadmin    Domain:
                         ^^^^^^^^            ^^^^^^^^^
Connection:     socket connect to /tmp/.smb.0/agent failed: No such file or 
directory
error connecting to 139.133.211.101:445 (Connection refused)
failed session setup
cli_net_use_add: connection failed
FAILED



Hmmm.
