Computer account and User account with the same name
is there a problem with having that in a domain?
is it even possible?
Thanks

Hi,
I think that there is no problem since they are different object types.Best regards Bourbita Thameur Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist: Windows Server 2008 R2,Server Virtualizaton

Hi,
what do you mean with the attribute "name"?
There are three diffrent attributes:
CN (common name)
displayname (displayname)
SAMAccountname (Samaccountname used for authentification)
the CN and the displaynmae are not a problem. But the samaccountname must be unique to the Active Directory. Normally if you create new objects the displaname is used for the samaccountname. So there might be a conflict in the end.

It should not pose any problem as they are different objects.
However, with that said, I would recommend against it just to ensure that a problem doesnt manifest later down the road.
