Max OS X Version 10.6.8 - Hello all. I have never had this issue before and it is making me crazy. I migrated some new mac books from some older mac books I had with all the software I needed. I had no problems with about 6 of them, but the last few will not change their names in the network. I have a windows network AD windows server 2008. I have never had this issue. I created a clone that I wanted to migrate and have done this for years.

This year, however, the mac books are not cooperating. I have plugged them into the ethernet as well as wireless. I am going to settings, network, advanced, (THE NETWORK NAME IS CORRECT), wins - I can change the name there, but it will not keep the name even after I lock the security, reboot - same thing - cannot log into the network with my credentials. Am I missing something? If so, please post details. Thank you.
