James, unfortunately, the bulk of our experince has been in using SMS to push patches and updates. I really don't think building a new .msi file is the way you want to go. Slip-streaming the patches into the original installs has worked very well for us, and has allowed us to keep an

It's possible, though I've only had a brief look at your enclosed diagnostic results, that you're experiencing the DNS island issue in that both DCs resolve against themselves. Is the DNS zone representing your domain Active Directory integrated? In addition, has this ever worked? Dean -- Dean

I disagree. Everything I've read (never tested this one as all our DCs are GCs) says that a non-admin domain logon will fail if there is no GC available and there are no cached credentials. Looking at http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q216/9/70.asp I see the following; -- If a GC
