If that is the case, I am in the process of replacing several of their
current machines and in the process may have put them over the top on
licenses. I assume if I delete some of the old users, they will recoup the
licenses?
I am not on site now and have very sporadic connectivity, so will run the
diagnostics in the morning.
Not sure I know enough to know what to look for in DNS, but do believe this
may be where the problem lies.
I have seen several articles of people having the exact same problem, but
have not seen one that follows through to a solution. They just seem to end
unresolved.
Thanks for the help so far...

Server and the affected computers. Run NETDIAG and DCDIAG on the SBS
Server, what are the results?
SBS 2000 licenses are not User or Device, if I recall its based on the
number of users in AD. 10 users = 10 SBS CALs.

Looks like each time one of the problem users logs on they generate
these -
1. The DNS server for this DC does not support dynamic DNS. Add the DNS
records from the file '%SystemRoot%\System32\Config\netlogon.dns' to the
DNS
server serving the domain referenced in that file.
2. The session setup from the computer SERVICE failed to authenticate. The
name of the account referenced in the security database is SERVICE$. The
following error occurred:
Access is denied.
The server indicates 10 licenses. Don't know which type these would be
for
an SBS 2000 setup. User or Device?
Any thoughts on how to correct these issues?

Check your Event Viewer on the SBS 2003 server and pc to see if there any

licensing to insure they are not exceeding there license count.

This, to me, is pretty odd and I have no clue what is going on..
I am working with a client who has SBS 2000, today, a user attempted to
log
on and got an error that the domain controller was down. Other users
could
connect fine. The network connection appeared to be OK. After several
hours
of poking around, I came up empty. I rebooted the server, and now a
second
user is having a similar problem. Can't logon, locally, or on the
network.
Then, by chance, I unglugged the network cable from the PC, and was
able
to
logon, then plugged the network cable back in and all was good with the
world. After seeing this work, I tried the same thing on the second
PC,
but
this one would still not logon. When I rebooted the first one, same
issue.
If I unplug the network cable, then logon, then plug it back in, it
seems
to
work, but not every time.
I am sure this is indicative of something and hope that someone can
enlighten me.
Thanks for the help
