Hi. I have followed the steps to change dns to point to the local AD. I receive an error when adding a machine to the domain (the following error occurred validating the name "C2430908816". A duplicate name exists on the network.). This is the same name as other templates. How do I resolve this? I am using sharepoint 2013 bits, AD on 2012, SQL 2012 of WIN2012 RC, AD2012.

  Hello Joseph,

  Thanks for reaching out. I am sorry you are having problems adding a new machine to your environment. This limitation is discussed in our forums here and here.   

  If you require alternate SP2013 machines in your environment you can try selecting a different template as in the screenshot attached. You also have the option to start with a base Windows Server 2012 template and install SP2013 manually.

  Thanks!
