I apologize for the length of this post. I have seen many threads on
this general subject and have tried most of the suggestions, without any
luck. So, I am including a lot of information to help you understand my
configuration.
I recently migrated a client from SBS4.5 to SBS2003 Standard (new
hardware). Overall, the server is running great. However, when the
Administrator logs on to the server console (either sitting at it or via
Remote Web Workplace's Connect to Server Desktop), I get this message in
the Application Event log:
- - - - -
Event Type: Error
Event Source: Userenv
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1030
Date: 5/8/2004
Time: 3:36:45 PM
User: BCOV2\SBSAdmin
Computer: PC01
Description:
Windows cannot query for the list of Group Policy objects. Check the
event log for possible messages previously logged by the policy engine
that describes the reason for this.

[NOTE: I followed the instructions in SBS2003 Help to rename
"Administrator" to "SBSAdmin" using GPO.]
The corresponding message in the System Event log is:
- - - - -
Event Type: Warning
Event Source: LSASRV
Event Category: SPNEGO (Negotiator)
Event ID: 40961
Date: 5/8/2004
Time: 3:36:45 PM
User: N/A
Computer: PC01
Description:
The Security System could not establish a secured connection with the
server ldap/pc01.BCOv2.office/BCOv2.office@BCOv2.office. No
authentication protocol was available.

NONE of the regular user accounts generate these errors when they logon
to their PCs, only the administrator account logging on to the server.
The server has a single NIC (behind a hardware firewall). The NIC is
pointing to itself for DNS and the DNS Event log does not show any
errors or warnings. Here's the configuration:

Following Les Connor's advice from 04-13-2004, I got an NSLookup:

Any suggestions as to why I am getting the errors and how I can fix
whatever is causing them will be appreciated.
