Actually I have a strong password. But funny thing, I rebooted and the
problem went away... go figure
Most authentication (and replication) problems in AD
domains are due to DNS issues.
When the problem goes away on reboot you should strongly
suspect that the CLIENT machine is set to use multiple DNS
servers (from different places) that don't return the same info,
e.g., the ISP and the INTERNAL DNS servers.
Internal Clients must use STRICTLY the (internal) DNS server
that can return all of the answers they will need.
Check: NIC->IP properties for the DNS servers or just do
"IPConfig /all" to view the settings (using the latter is
pretty much required if you the machine is a "DHCP client".)
As second, less likely issue is a replication problem where
one of your DCs is not fully replicated or not represented with
all DNS servers (i.e., the DNS servers are not fully replicated).
For these latter issue, check EACH DC with DCDiag and resolve
any problems it suggests (best to always dump DCDiag output
to a text file and just search it with a text editor.)

Terry,
Sound like your password is not long or secure enought. Try using 9
characters where you have one letter that is cap and one number or
combination. Not sure if this will help or not.

I get the following error when trying to add a new user.

Using Active Directory
I was able to add one user, then after installing and removing
Sharepoint
Services, I was no longer able to add any additional users.
Any Ideas?
