Let me see if I can explain this correctly. I have created a new domain on a Windows 2003 machine and have added all of our client machines to this new domain. Most of the client PC's are running Win2k and have no issues. But, I do have 3 other servers running Windows 2003 and on those I am getting nothing when I try to share a folder with users/groups from the domain. On these machines, in both sharing and security, I go to add and the Look In section only shows me local(that machines) users and groups. I cannot see my domain to select a user from that domain to share a folder with. However on my Domain Controller, also a Windows 2003 machine, I go to share and I get both local users and groups as well as the domains users and groups. Any ideas what may be going on with those other machines?
 
did you add those other couple of server to the newly installed domain? if not add them to the new domain then youll be able to see the domain users and group etc
 
Yeah, I have added all of them to the new domain. They are a part of the domain but just cannot see the domain for file sharing. This is the part that has me banging my head on the desk.
