    When I run my MMC to manage my domain I get the following pop up message:

    Naming Information cannot be located because: the specified domain either
    does not exist or could not be contacted. Contact your system
    administrator....

    I am new with managing Active Directory domains. Items that have occured
    since the last time I successfully used the Management Console:
      I upgraded my computer to Windows XP Server Pack 2
      I upgraded my computer to Windows 2003 applications (Office, Visio,
    Project, etc.)
      I changed the permissions on my servers C: and D: drives from letting
    EVERYONE have access to just the Domain Admins and System.

    I thought the upgrades to XP SP2 and 2003 applications might be causing the
    problem so I removed those changes from my system. No help.

    I then set the permissions back on the C: and D: drives of the servers to
    allow EVERYONE to have access. No help.

    Can anyone help me resolve this?

    Thanks.
