Also, You may want to make sure that the DNS on the client machine is correct. I have also, have had problems in the past with windows machines. Adding static DNS entries and adding the DNS suffix (under the advanced tab) have corrected issues with problem machines, at least for me.

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.
