I tried to add the line with exactly 15 characters, like this 1.1.1.1 "MYDOM \0x1b" #PRE but I still have the same problem. And when I use nbtstat -c, it listed MYDOM (1C) GROUG -1 instead of MYDOM (1B) Unique -1 so I guess something has changed over time... Anybody has any ideas about those "Autoenrollment" event errors (ID=15) listed in event viewer?
