Re: XP Client in 2k3 domain

Hi Thanks for the input so far. I have connected to the PC and tried a
few more things and I still do not have it working properly.

Here is the event Viewer Message...
Event Type: Error
Event Source: Userenv
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1054
Date: 10/11/2005
Time: 11:40:59 AM
User: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
Computer: Computer1
Description:
Windows cannot obtain the domain controller name for your computer
network. (The specified domain either does not exist or could not be
contacted. ). Group Policy processing aborted.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.


I ping the domain controller and it responds. I then browsed to
domain.com\sysvol\domain.com and could connect to it.

I did a ipconfig /flushdns and ipconfig /registerdns.

The PC is in the same OU as other PCs that are all getting the Group
Policies.

The DHCP info is all correct.


Here is the failure notice from GPResult on the server side.
Component Name Status Last Process Time
Group Policy Infrastructure Failed 10/11/2005 11:51:30 AM
Group Policy Infrastructure failed due to the error listed below.

An unexpected network error occurred.

Note: Due to the GP Core failure, none of the other Group Policy
components processed their policy. Consequently, status information for
the other components is not available.

Additional information may have been logged. Review the Policy Events
tab in the console or the application event log for events between
10/11/2005 11:50:56 AM and 10/11/2005 11:51:30 AM.

The Group Policy does not do any software installation anymore several
months ago I was push out XPSP2 out with GP before I moved to WSUS. So
how do I get the client to a see the domain controller and the current
GP

Thanks for your time again.
