Logon problems after running dcgpofix.exe to reset domain policies



Dear Experts,
I am using the following setup: Windows 2003 Server standard
edition with clients running Windows 2000 pro and Windows XP pro. I was
having some minor issues with group policies and so I ran dcgpofix.exe
to reset the Default Domain Policies and Default Domain Controller
policies. After doing this I am facing series problems on the clients:
a) When trying to logon into the domain, the login process takes up a
long time (around 3 minutes or so)
b) I am unable to login into the domain. Event viewer has errors:
Under "Application": Windows cannot determine the user or computer
name. (The RPC server is unavailable. ). Group Policy processing
aborted.

Under "System": No Domain Controller is available for domain SUNLUX
due to the following:
There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon
request. .
c) Accesses to the domain controllers "shares" are very slow (though
successful)

After running dcgpofix.exe, I notice that most of the policies
in the Default Domain Policy GPO have been set to "Not Defined". I am
sure this was not how it was before I reset the GPO - there were
several policies that were defined. I feel that this is the reason for
my problems now.

I would like to know if there is a source for a list of
default settings for the various policies in the Default Domain Polic.
I can use this as a reference to reset my policies manually one by one.

Thanks for the help.
