Ho Marina, here's an update on my problem. I found the solution from a post I
left in Ilopia. Apparently this is a known server 2003 error which can be
resolved either by a Microsoft patch which you have to call to get or by the
following manual fix (which I used and it works):

Edit the hosts file on EACH domain controller. Put in the IP address for
your domain controller (the local IP address should be first in the list) --
and then next to the IP address do NOT put the host name, but put the name of
the domain. Then list the IP address for EACH domain controller in your
domain on that same hosts file (with the domain name next to it). In other
words, your hosts file should look like this (if you have just two domain
controllers):
121.121.121.121 yourdomainname.com
121.121.121.122 yourdomainname.com
Where 121.121.121.121 = the ip address of the local domain controller for
THIS hosts file. Where 121.121.121.122 = the ip address of your OTHER domain
controller yourdomainname.com = the name of your domain The list would be
reversed (as far as IP address) on the hosts file on the other domain
controller. Yes, you need a hosts file on EACH domain controller.

Just thought I'd pass this along in case anybody else in this newsgroup is
experiencing the same issue.

Thanks again for your help :-)
