RE: [FNB Spam Filter][ActiveDir] GPO Processing

If its just one system, then you might try just re-joining the machine to the domain. Perhaps its machine account got fudged up. You might check its system event log for Netlogon errors that give some clue to this.     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Salandra, Justin A.

I'm not aware that etc/hosts allows NetBIOS records like that. In any case, I don't think that will help because GP processing is strictly LDAP based--there is no use of NetBIOS protocols to find or process GPOs. That is why, in an environment where WINS is still running and DNS resolution is broken, the normal signs that DNS isn't working, such as inability to logon to an AD domain, don't appear, but GP processing will still fail.   Darren   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rogers, James Sent: Thursday, December 30, 2004 8:38 AM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [FNB Spam Filter][ActiveDir] GPO Processing As a trouble-shooting method, try creating a #DOM record in your HOST file that points at the domain controller.  If this works, you most likely have a DNS problem.   -James R.
