Yes Neil, I just decided to start from a fresh load. Still bringing up the servers now. I'm new to AD and am looking for advice guidance as necessary. I thought I had all configurations set correctly, but I couldn't find where I went wrong. I thought I missed something somewhere so I wanted to go from scratch.
Any advice?
