A service that is required is not running:

Start, Administrative Tools, Services:

Server service
Workstation service
RPC
RPC Locator
DNS Client service
DHCP Client service

. Check that it is not a domain machine entry issue:

Have a domain admin remove the machine account. Wait at least 30 minutes. Re-add the machine account.

. Not too that you need to be a member of the Local Administrator account to change the Computer Name settings
