Frustrated screenwriter? Nice to know some things never change - when in doubt - reboot.

Ok gang. Thanks for all the help both on and off list. The answer had to be in the Netlogon service, according to Novell.
I tried to reboot the PDC, but was told I had no rights to do so. "AHA you scoundrel", says I. "I'll show you who's in charge here!".
Warily pressing the Big Red Button, the administrator jumps quickly backward, allowing the defiant machine to die gracefully.
"Rise and Heal thyself!" I yelled. Slowly, the beast began to stir, eventually coming to full life and, having been beaten into submission, was henceforth properly responsive to all demands made of it.

Thanks for the reply.
No, we have a single domain, no trusts. Netlogon is running fine. Nothing in
the event logs pertinent to the problem.

Strange thing started happening last week. All the domain administrators
have lost the capability of using usrmgr.exe and srvmgr.exe! They come up,
but any attempt to make changes gets "ACCESS DENIED".
All accounts are still domain admins, and all rights remain unchanged.
Checked for viruses and resynched, but no change. We are running Novell
Account manager in parallel, but nothing has changed with it either,
although I am most suspicious of this as the cause, but I need to cover all
the bases.
Has anyone seen this before?
