DNS must have been functioning for the NIC but the records may not be correct. I need to track down a good way to rebuild these records. I think that by removing the settings on DNS that I gave you before and waiting for AD to refresh that the records will age out and get replaced when you...

Did you check DNS for the SRV records? If they are all there then this is a waste of time. Under your forward lookup zone domain record domainname.local You should have records that look like _msdcs _tcp _domain _sites _udp These are folders with SRV records. Do...

That is a good point - I don't think it works. Resources in the domain or it's trust wouldn't act like this. Of cource there could be a "big" in the software. ;)

Note - the command you ran only check the ldap entry. Remember - nslookup is - sort of - an industry tool to check DNS records and not an AD checker - so to speak. AD is not ldap but is query-able ( is that a word ) by ldap. LDAP is good for getting info out of AD but is not the best way to...

That only checks one entry nut if that entry is intact then maybe you are alright. Rebooting wil accomplish the same as I outlined but I believe it was alright to begin with, You may have to disble DNS registration and re-enable it although I am pretty sure that it would be right by just...

I guess I was a little confusing. Just make sure that you have the settings for set for "update dns" First check DNS for the SRV records required for AD. If they are all right then this may not be your problem. If you think the records are damaged or incorrect then do the check the...

Does the profile get unloaded correctly. I've seen this happen when the profile fails to unload because a process it still running such as a database network client processing a compoud query. If it logs in and out and the account is logged out then it "may" cause the account to...

Justin A little testing later. I poosted a dcdiag that failed. It was an obvious failure caused by missing SRV records in DNS. I caused the missing records by not having the network card TCPIP settings for DNS set to update the DNS records and then changing some of the network settings like...

Are you sure you don't get this message with dcdiag C:\Program Files\Support Tools>dcdiag /s:lazare4 Domain Controller Diagnosis Performing initial setup: Done gathering initial info. Doing initial required tests Testing server: New-York-City\LAZARE4 Starting test: Connectivity...

I hope the event log is set to use full tracking of all security events. Be sure Warnings, Errors, Failures are checked as well as successes on both DCs. Last time I sw this the DCs had somehow been set to not log anything but Successfull events.

/Siddharth Explain how this effect name resolution and why rpc is not available.

Acive Directory is like that.

Can't you make your answers a simpler. All this wordiness is confusing!

Warning! The admin that I was working with thought the same thing. Guess what? Even the drivers added after the problem started had to be removed. When adding HP drivers specifically the HP drivers you mentioned, look in the driver list for the "Windows 2003" drivers of you are on...

Here's a tougher issue. I am posting it here becase some of you may know the answer. In a 2000/2003 Domain we need to turn on the clock for all users in a particular group. I though a registry script could do this but haven't found any place in the registry that holds this information...
