check your DNS. it seems to be pointing to an issue with srv records for your DC not being properly registered. I'd say run dcpromo and demote your dc but its your only one so i don't advise it. are you running AD intergrated dns? or standard dns? is your dc pointing to the correct dns server? do you have "allow automatic updates" checked off on your zone? is this a child domain or the root domain?

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. - Robbie Robert Rutherford wrote: >If you do a 'net view \\servername' can u see the shares, i.e. sysvol? > >-----Original Message----- >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Robbie Foust >Sent: 29 October 2004 15:10 >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: [ActiveDir] sysvol problems > >Hi, > >I'm trying to track down a problem.
