I just posted a response but now, after being there, it
has disappeared? Anyhow...I tried again and earlier to
use the "Last Know Good Config" option but I get the same
error message afterwards as well. Do you refer to
the "Directory Service Restore Mode" option? I have not
tried that. Please let me know and again thanks for your
help.
