Ghost records in computer list, and broken icons



Hi everyone

I recently re-installed Panther Server on a dual 1.8ghz G5. I am managing about 160 OS9 iMacs (with Mac Manager) and 16 new Tiger eMacs (Workgroup Manager) in one of my schools.
All machines are fully patched.

My issues are the following:

When I try to add some of the eMacs to a Computer List in Workgroup Manager I get the error 
"A computer with the description ComputerName already belongs to this or another list" 
I seem to remember this was an issue a while back but am unable to find the solution in previous list emails. Is there a way to clear out a cache somewhere on the server? I looked in the inspector but only found records for the ones that are working properly.

Also my Managed Dock prefs aren't working for the computer list I created, when I log in as a user all I get is a bunch of question marks on the dock - is it looking for the apps on the computer I created them on? It comes up with an AFP error eventually. How do I get the eMacs to look locally for the apps?

Thanks for any tips.

Dylan
