No Directory List in Security Permission

[DoBBers]

Hi,

I have not come across this before, and I cannot find why this is happening.

I have a number of XP Pro machines on a Win 2003 AD domain. I need to apply some security permissions to local folders on these XP machines, but when I view the 'Select Users or Groups' > Location list, I only get the local machine and not the Directory list.

I have logged on to the XP machine as a domain admin and still nothing.

Would be grateful for any assistance on this.

thanks

Mark

you sure you're connected to the domain? If you've ever logged in there before there will be a local profile so you can log in seemlessly, however you wouldn't be on the domain.

Is this happening with several machines or 1 in particular?

This is happening on 2 machines that I have started to join the domain. I havent added anymore so far, as I am concerned something is misconfigured - a symptom being this.

I have joined the domain without issues on both machines, logged in as a domain user and then domain admin. This creates the total of 3 profiles. Logging onto the pc's with domain credentials works, and checks against AD, as incorrect pwd fails.

The aim of this is to transfer the local users profile onto the newly created domain user profile, in the same way I have done many times before.

How do I confirm I am logged into the domain fully, and in way that would give me directory listings in the user/groups file permission area?

thanks for you help.

Issue resolved - PC's weren't being added to DNS server. Resolved that issue and full directory access was forthcoming.
