Dear all
I think my issue is dns related as no permission changes have changed on sysvol etc.
Network is running really slow.
Getting the standard errors on workstations
1097
(Windows cannot find the machine account, No authority could be contacted for authentication. .)
1030
(Windows cannot query for the list of Group Policy objects. A message that describes the reason for this was previously logged by the policy engine)
1054
(Windows cannot obtain the domain controller name for your computer network. (The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted. . Group Policy processing aborted. )
have 3 DCs in total (one is 2000svr)
the 2 Win 2003 DCs act as DNS servers.
when logged on as a std user, i can ping the domain name, the servers by FQDN, access the sysvol folders by \\DC_servername\sysvol and \\domainname\sysvol
RSOP.msc (ComputerConfiguration) however returns the error
-----------------------------------------------------------
Group Policy Infrastructure failed due to the error listed below.
No authority could be contacted for authentication.
Note: Due to the GP Core failure, none of the other Group Policy components processed their policy. Consequently, status information for the other components is not available.
can anyone please help..!
kr Paul..
