Re: XP Client in 2k3 domain



What does netdiag results show for that computer?? You can post the results
here in a reply as that would be helpful. I would check it's tcp/ip settings
to make sure that it points only to domain controllers as the preferred dns
servers and NEVER an ISP dns server as shown in the KB article in the link
below. You should also try nslookup as described in the second link below to
see if the computer can find the proper _srv records for the domain
controller which is needed to find a domain controller. --- Steve
