Hey there, I have added the user and computer in AD users
and computers, but when I try to log that user (backup)
on, I get a message saying "Windows cannot connect to the
domain, either because the domain controller is down or
otherwise unavailable, or because your computer account
was not found..." etc... I have all the other computers
that were already on the network, logged on and running
well, except for this one. It is online and able to log
in locally, but the roaming profile won't work. I am new
so it might be a simple fix, but in the AD properties,
the profiles are identical as other ones. Thanks for the
help. -Geoffrey.
