If you do a 'net view \\servername' can u see the shares, i.e. sysvol?

Subject: [ActiveDir] sysvol problems
Hi,
I'm trying to track down a problem. This particular domain only has one
domain controller (don't blame me) :-) and I am unable to access the
sysvol through the domain name, like when I try to go to
\\domain.duke.edu\sysvol I get "The network path was not found." One
other weird thing about the server, is that on the login dialog box,
instead of listing the domain name as the domain to log in to, it lists
something like "domainserv". (names changed to protect the innocent)
There's more to the story, but I'll leave it at that for now. The DNS
config should be somewhat correct, at least enough that it should be
working. I've corrected many problems associated with that, but still
no go. A nslookup to the domain name does resolve to the server's IP
address. Netbt was disabled so I've reenabled it to see if that
helped. dcdiag things everything is fine, netdiag thinks everything is
fine except it says:
NetBT name test. . . . . . . . . . : Passed
[WARNING] You don't have a single interface with the <00>
'WorkStation Service', <03> 'Messenger Service', <20> 'WINS' names
defined.
I'm not 100% sure exactly what its talking about, since the server has
everything registered in WINS. In fact, it has both "server names"
registered. Both the real DC name and the name that shows up in the
login dialog box. :-)
Thanks!
- Robbie
