Doug & others,

Do you have documents on the proper AD setup, since I seem to be  
suffering with an improper setup?

My problems are mostly that the clients don't find the AD to  
authenticate logins (unless I point client DNS to the AD server), and  
clients don't find printers shared off servers reliably. This seemed  
to start after upgrading the domain controller from 2000 to 2008.

I just found out that part of my problem might be with the computer  
browser service. That used to be on default, but with Windows 2008 it  
is off. I restarted it on the 2008 domain controller, but it is only  
seeing two other computers. I think it might be related to having  
computers in multiple subnets.  I have clients on 35.8.190.x (static),  
35.10.64.x & 35.10.69.x (campus dhcp) and 35.15.64.x (restricted to  
building access).

thanks for any suggestions!
-John
