A agree with Joe. Bill - you've posted no data that you managed to collect from attempting to troubleshoot this problem, so on what basis can you conclude (or expect us to believe) that "it's definitely a bug in WinXP"?
We've got plenty of WinXP machines that we've either Ghosted, or Syspreped, and then added to a domain. On some occasions it doesn't take, but removing the machine, deleting the machine account in AD, and readding the machine usually fixes things.

We don't see these issues. joe -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bill Moran Sent: Sunday, October 19, 2003 9:39 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] roseta wrote: This actually seems very similar, since the machine that has the errors was originally part of a workgroup, then joined to the domain, whereas the one that doesn't produce errors was never part of a workgroup. This definately appears to be a bug in Windows XP. We have all available Windows updates installed, so it's apparently still a bug. Thanks for the input. I'm going to try to find time/resources to do an actual test on this and prove/disprove this theory.
