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



I should have been more specify - sorry

1) I ran adprep/forestprep & domain prep on windows 2000 server
2) I added a windpows 2003 server to the domain
3) I loaded Active directory to the 2003 server and made it a second DC

Users are not getting error message - it now just say the "live" network
cable they used to attach to the network no longer is functional. All
servers are operational. And I can log onto them & print from them etc. But
all users cannot attach to the network via their network cables????

I am completely baffled ...
