STATUS Microsoft has confirmed that this is
a problem in Microsoft Windows 2000.
This problem was first corrected in Microsoft Windows 2000 Service Pack 4.MORE INFORMATION When you use RIS to install a client, Binlsvc (which is a
component of RIS) creates the Machine Account object (MAO). When this occurs,
the client Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) (a 32-character number in the
Pre-Boot execution [PXE] read-only memory [ROM]) is added to the MAO,
identifying it as a managed computer account. This way, if the client is ever
reinstalled or re-imaged it will use the same computer account and receive the
same computer name.
