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 On May 29, 2009, at 5:57 PM, Doug Nelson wrote: > > ....... > > 1.
