Hi,

I am new to the group so apologies if I do not follow all the rules!

We have an Windows 2000 Active Directory, spanning several sites, which
has
been running in Mixed Mode.

We now have no NT4 servers at all on the system so want to change to
Native
Mode.

When I try to change the mode, I am told it has worked and that it will
take
15 minutes to complete. We then get the following message.
"The following Active Directory erro occured: A device attached to the
system is not functioning"

I can find no references to this on the web or Microsoft, any suggestions
anyone?

Thanks
