Any help appreciated on this one, we recently performed an in place upgrade from NT4 to W2K AD, at the same time bowled out outlook2003.

All went well except for users on Outlook 2003 are unable to reset their passwords?? Outlook 2000 works fine.

I have found a reg hack for changing windows passwords which I have applied but still no joy.

Can't find any obvious errors, I thought DNS was working all ok as in we can nslookup and ping by name and ip address to and from the PDC emulator.

Anyone had anything similar???

Running NetDiag reveals the following...

Verify that your clients are set up to ONLY point to your server for DNS. Make sure that DNS is running properly on the server.

Did you copy/paste this message or retype it? The IP address shows 5 octets!

I hope you find this post helpful. Please let me know if it was.

Yeah, we need to see the rest of the netdiag /v output, and the output from dcdiag /v if possible.

That IP address is....interesting.
