    The PDC (2003 Server) has all PCs listed in the AD, but in Network
    Places (as seen from any station or server) 2 PCs do not appear. One
    runs Win 2k and one runs XP Pro. They all work fine, accessing all
    resources, but looking at them from elsewhere it is a problem that
    prevents any kind of remote management.

    There is a third XP Pro PC that appears in Network Places, but if you
    browse to it, a message says you don't have access, even if logged in as
    administrator. Sometimes you can browse to it just one time, but look
    again and you get that message. This PC was made from a ghost image
    from an identical PC.

    With all 3 of these, I tried changing them to workgroup, then deleting
    their listings from AD, then rejoining the domain. The end result is no
    change at all from these conditions.
