RE: Help - Users can't log in ...

Hi,

Thanks for posting!

Based on the description, Please help me know the exact error message when
logging on to domain. Is there any error in Event log?

According to my research, you may use the following method verify the
replication of Active Directory.

The schema and infrastructure operations masters are used to introduce
forest and domain-wide schema changes to the forest and its domains that
are made by the Windows Server 2003 adprep utility. Verify that the domain
controller that hosts the schema role and infrastructure role for each
domain in the forest reside on live domain controllers and that each role
owner has performed inbound replication over all partitions since they were
last restarted.

Verify that the schema master and each infrastructure master have performed
inbound replication of Active Directory since last booted. Inbound
replication can be verified by using the REPADMIN /SHOWREPS DCNAME command,
where DCNAME is the NetBIOS computer name or the fully qualified computer
name of a domain controller.
