Ahh... is that during boot time? If so, then the computer is not able to read its own computer account information in AD. Make sure the computer account (will be servername$) has read rights down the AD tree to the server object.
If that's during user (logon) time, I'd still think it might be something similar--server can't read user object in AD. Could also be general AD authentication though--got a different domain account you can try? -Bonnie -----Original Message----- From: Edward B.

I started to say "no", but found a gem [for which I probably should have checked before posting]. == begin == Source: Userenv Event ID: 1053 Windows cannot determine the user or computer name. (The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted.) Group Policy processing aborted. == end = I started digging through old logs, and found a few more nuggets: == begin == Source: Ci Event ID: 4132 Event ID: 4124 Event ID: 4126 == end == Said Ci warning and errors began shortly after the first Userenv 1053. Call me presumptuous, but I'm getting tempted to blame device drivers and try a clean install. There's nothing production on the box yet, and I'm getting a bit leery of it... Thanks!
