Windows XP sp1 machine logging into a domain, I am a domain admin. I
noticed that from my AD users & computers snap in I could not view
group policies anymore. Checking event viewer I see a ton of event
1030 and 1058 errors (can't access gp.ini from sysvol), checking the
services mmc I see that DNS client service, which is set to automatic,
is not started. Attempting to start this service gives me 'access
denied'. Also, I can't ipconfig /flushdns or /registerdns or any ot
those commands, however, nslookup works and all other browsing works
just fine.
I can browse to the sysvol share containing gp.ini on any of the 6
domain controllers we have. Reading about this problem suggests that
the issue may be with DNS running on a domain controller, but I have
not been able to find any issues there and my machine is the only one
on the network with this problem, suggesting it's a local issue.
I've gotten nowhere so far and my next two options are 1) run a repair
install (which I really don't want to do for a multitude of bad
reasons) and 2) change the logon for the dns client service from
'network service' to 'local system' (not sure about this as I don't
know the pw for network service so I could never get it back after the
change).
So, anyone seen this or have any suggestions for things to try? Thanks
in advance.
