I have a employee who is getting the following error everytime he restarts
his laptop.

"A domain controller for your domain could not be contacted. You have been
logged on using cached account information. Changes made to your profile
since you last logged on may not be available."

The funny thing is that when he logs in everything work. He can get access
to the internet and to the network.

If he just logs off and doesn't get the error.

He is running Windows XP SP2 with all the latest updates. If you have any
ideas please let me know.

Thanks,

I'd check his DNS / IP setup, and the domain DNS setup. DNS based name
resolution, to identify the domain controller, has to be done deliberately.
