Sorry, should've said I had already done that... dcdiag says everything on the server has passed.

BR, Robert Rutherford Joe Pochedley <[EMAIL PROTECTED] To: "NT 2000 Discussions" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> m> cc: Sent by: Subject: AD: Domain does not exist? bounce-nt2000-137226@l s.swynk.com 17/12/2002 17:10 Please respond to "NT 2000 Discussions" Last night I took the first step in upgrading our WinNT4 domain to Win2K with AD. I upgraded our PDC and most everything appears to have gone well. The problem I'm having though is this: I loaded the Admin tools on my Win2K workstation (also tried the .Net tools on my XP Pro station too with the same results)... When I try to open ADUC from my workstation, I get this message: Naming information cannot be located because: The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted. Contact your System Administrator...etc... After clicking OK ADUC opens and if I attempt to connect to the domain I get nearly the same error message. If I attempt to connect to the newly upgraded DC, I can then at least view and somewhat administer the users and computers.... Opening the properties for the user takes upwards of 20 seconds, and if I go to the Account tab I get an error message stating that the "Pre Windows 2000 domain name for the user cannot be displayed." From that point I can't seem to save any changes to the account... Everything works fine on the Win2K "PDC" just not on any workstations... It's presently running in mixed mode, replicating to 4 other NT4 BDC's (I'm hoping to upgrade those in the next couple weeks)... I've verified that DNS is working correctly (on a separate Win2K server, but all entries appear in place and I can resolve the _ldap._tcp.domain name just fine).... I have also verified my workstation knows about the Win2K DC by running NLTEST /SC_RESET and that was successful... Is this normal of mixed mode domains or what am I missing? Thanks for any help!
