I had a problem that sounds similar a few weeks ago that I resolved by first removing the machine from the domain to a local workgroup, then dropping the machine name from the domain and then re-adding the server back again as its original name. In my case, the problem was caused by the domain seeing two separate SID's for a machine with the same domain name. Even after the test server was removed, the initial server was apparently in some diminished capacity mode in which it could access the network but could not connect to any shares and user could not connect to it. _____ From: Scott Cassaday [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Wednesday, October 17, 2007 11:37 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [MSUNAG] Wierd issue with IMC domain DNS and netbios are both the same nothing in the event logs. This whole thing started as they are not able to map network drives to some server... odd thing is they seem to have a "little" connection to the domain, enough to authenticate as users, but not to map drives over on other servers. ----- Original Message ----- From: Duynslager, Lee <mailto:[log in to unmask]> To: Scott Cassaday <mailto:[log in to unmask]> Sent: Wednesday, October 17, 2007 11:33 AM Subject: RE: [MSUNAG] Wierd issue with IMC domain Scott: Are the DNS entry and the NETBIOS settings exactly the same as the settings on the machines that work?

Yesterday 3 machines just stopped connecting to the domain. Other machines in the same office are just fine. The machines can ping the domain servers and tracert shows only a couple of hops. Just as a test I tried removing one of the machines from the domain and re-adding. It comes up with a login window for the domain ( so it apparently is finding the domain" but once I try to login it throws a "the network location cannot be reached" I have switched IP's and checked that all settings are correct. The machines in question are able to browse the web. Any ideas ?
