Hi Robert,
Thanks for the reply. If I net view the real "dc" name, then yes. If I net view the name that shows up in the login dialog box, then no. I get the network path not found message.

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!
