Dunno if this is still a problem for you - but if it is: Given that SYSVOL is really just a dfs root - is the DFS service running on the DC?
If this were me I would: Install Etherreal on a client (free net sniffer) Run ipconfig /flushdns Run "klist purge" - say yes to purge all tickets Start the sniffer go to \\domain.com\sysvol - wait for the error "The network path was not found." Stop sniffer Analyze it or make it available to me (or us) and we can take a look see Thats the easiest and fastest way to tell what REALLY is going on IMO -steve ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robbie Foust" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, October 29, 2004 7:57 AM Subject: Re: [ActiveDir] sysvol problems > > Kern, Tom wrote: > > >they really should delegate you authority for your AD zone and these issues will go away. > > > Not really.
