Enter the name of the computer and the name and password of an LDAP directory
domain administrator. The computer name can’t be in use by another computer for
trusted binding or other network services.

If you see an alert saying that a computer record exists, click Cancel to go back and
change the computer name or click Overwrite to replace the existing computer record.
The existing computer record might be abandoned or it might belong to another
computer. If you replace an existing computer record, notify the LDAP directory
administrator in case replacing the record disables another computer.
In such a situation, the LDAP directory administrator must give the disabled computer
another name and add it to the computer group it belonged to, using a dierent name
for that computer.
For more information about adding a computer to a computer group, see the
computer groups chapter of User Management.
