Maxx,

Can you do us a favor and post an unedited ipconfig /all from both DCs?
Thanks - this will help eliminate any DNS and other mis-configuration if
present. DNS misconfigs can cause numerous issues. If you built this domain
up from scratch with two DCs, it should be purring like a finely tuned race
car. Depending on whatever else occured, and taking in to account other
things can cause issues such as single label domain names, multihomed DCs,
we can at least start with the ipconfigs and work from there.

Also, I saw your other post too about trusts. By default the DCs trust each
other but that won't show up in Trusts because it's only one domain. Were
you trying to create a trust between the two DCs? If so, delete the entry
please.

Thanks.
