Assuming the server service is running, can you connect back to a UNC path share of the BDC while on the BDC? If so, the suggestion about the DCs being out of sync could be correct and you might have to look at using tools to reset the computer account on the BDC--IIRC that would be nltest and/or netdom?

There is no WINS service on the PDC. The BDC is using LMHOSTS. I can ping the PDC both by name and IP. On Apr 8, 2010, at 10:39 AM, Miller Bonnie L. wrote: > How is WINS?
