The clients were configured to get DNS information from DHCP, but since it
was not working, I had to manually assign a DNS server to the clients. Last
night I looked at the DNS server and noticed that there were two identical
zones (one was _msdcs.domain.com and the other was just domain.com). I
don't know how that happened. I removed the first one and thought that
might help, but it didn't. :-(

Thanks,
Chrissie
