Hi all,

I have a Win 2003 Server, with about 50 PCs (XP Pro SP2) into the
domain. My problem is when I try to add a couple of PCs to the domain.
I normally add them thru My Computer - Computer Name - Change -
Member Of... reboot.
There, there is no problem, but when a user logs in, with his domain
user, you can see that the GPOs are not applied, and that the PC
cannot "see" the domain (for instance, to assign rights to domain
users)
Nevertheless, the PC appears in the Computers OU and its full name
includes the domain...

I have tried to re-add the PC several times, deleting the PC account
from the AD, but it is the same.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

W.
