Is this NT or 2000?

Have you followed this procedure? (for NT)

Changing the Computer Name of a Server in a Domain
On the domain, run Server Manager to add a server with the new name.
Choose the Network icon in Control Panel, and then change the computer name.
Reboot the computer.

NOTE: If you try to skip this step, Netlogon does not start on the server.
On the server, run Server Manager and choose Synchronize With Domain Controller from the Computer menu. This resets the passwords on both the account and the Secret Object to the same password.
On the domain, run Server Manager and delete the old server name.

HTH
