Re: Slow logon to 2003 domain and DHCP problems

I had thought that the DNS might be part of the problem and I did shut
down the DNS server on the Solaris server. Login was faster, but not
as fast as I would expect. Also, there is still the issue of managing
uses on the new XP Pro machine...

I am logged in as a user that is an admin on the AD. I go into the
Administrator group to add AD users as admin on the box. First off
there are two entries in the group, the box's administrator and a SID,
no username... When I first installed the box, the XP install could
not find the NIC drivers so I got the XP Home style of login. Once I
added it to the domain, I deleted the initial user that was created. I
believe the SID refers to that deleted user. Next I click Add users
and the location is the local machine. When I click on the Locations
button, the only location is the local machine, there is NO domain.

Again, I do NOT have this problem on the other machine which was not
reinstalled this last weekend.
