Have you tried isolating this problem to the computer or user rights? What I mean is have you had someone else log onto the suspect system to see if this is a problem with the system or have the suspect user log into a different computer known to work ok and see if the problem follows the user?
If it follows the user, and doesn't follow someone else that logs into the suspect system, you know its not a issue with the system and where it resides in the domain, rather it is following the users profile and subsequent rights governing the user account.

I have no errors in the event log, all of the users that are having the problem (which i now now is not related to the firewall, due to the fact that I just found an instance proving otherwise...one more variable out of the way) have the same GPOs, there are using the same DNS, and the same version and patch level of XP. I can't think of any other things to check. Any other ideas?

The built in firewall isn't supposed to interfere with communications with DC's, I think. Are you getting any specific error message when users try to edit their attributes? Or do they just not have permission to do so? Check the event logs to see if there are any errors. Robbie Foust, IT Analyst Systems and Core Services Duke University Douglas M.
