This is the perfect case of when to break out a network monitor and watch the traffic. Do what it is you are trying to do and see what the network is doing.
joe -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bill Moran Sent: Saturday, October 18, 2003 2:05 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello all, I posted earlier concerning Windows XP machines not allowing any scripts to run and presenting no clue as to why. After additional discussion with other techs, as well as multiple searches on the 'net, we decided to completely reinstall the two machines. This solved the IE problem. However, we are getting error messages on 1 machine, but not on the other. The one machine claims it can not contact the domain server. (which is ridiculous because it's mounting shared drives from it, and those shares function properly) Event ID 5719. These two machines are identical in every way. Same hardware. Same software and versions of software. Plugged in side by side to the same switch. The ONLY difference we can imagine, is that the one with the problem was configured for a workgroup during install, and then joined to the domain afterwards (just the tech clicking without thinking) while the one that works was joined to the domain during the initial install. I'm putting this out for two reasons: 1 -> to see if anyone has any insight as to what's happening. 2 -> to have this information made public, so if others come across it they can see they're not alone. Perhaps someone with some time and a lab available could test to see if the problem I describe is, in fact, caused by the install process described, or if it's just coincidence. Both machines appear to function properly aside from the errors. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com List info : http://www.activedir.org/mail_list.htm List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/list_faq.htm List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/ List info : http://www.activedir.org/mail_list.htm List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/list_faq.htm List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/
