You're already connected to an object on the domain with a different account.

You are not logged into the laptop as a local administrator. In order to join any computer to a domain, the following conditions must be met:

-If you have renamed a computer that is in a workgroup, you MUST reboot before you attempt to join to the domain.

-You must be logged into the computer as someone with administrative rights on that computer - poweruser rights will not substitute.

-Lastly, you must join the domain using an account that has Domain Administrative rights.

While its true that you have to have the right credentials to join the domain, it is not the source of the error the OP listed.

the credentials supplied conflict with an exsisting set of credentials"

I have gotten this error in the following situations:

I was logged into the computer as a local user. I tried to access a share that was admins only. It prompted for domain credentials, which I provided, but that error popped up.

Once I logged in as a local admin, it still prompted for credentials, but I no longer got that conflict.

I got the same result when trying to join a computer to the domain.

I have no idea what caused it, I just know what fixed it. =)
