do you have all the srv records in DNS for this server?
do you have "File and Print sharing" installed?
did you do and "ipconfig/registerdns"?

when you say "DNS config should be somewaht correct", what do you mean by "somewhat"

thanks

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
