    Hi All,

    My Domain Controller was infected by a mass-mailing worm, therefore, I took
    the harddisk out and replace by the backup one. However, when I tried to
    create user account by starting Active Directory Users and Computers, it
    shown that "The target principal name is incorrect", it maybe cause by the
    same computer name of the domain controllers, however, as the computer
    harddisk with the same name is already replaced. So I don't think there is
    another computer with the same name. So what should I do in order to fix
    it??? THanks alot
