Bill, what you say is correct,
But the machine is already up and running (without going
down again) for several weeks and we're still getting
these MRxSmb errors. It's like the Domain Controller
doesn't get the job done that it's the DMB.

So the rash should stop after a few re-elections ?!
I use the white paper: MS Windows NT Browser, Technical
Notes in Technet.

Greetings and thanks for the response!
