WinXP Joining Win2000 Domain

T

Tunde Oyediran

I recently installed and configured a Win2k Server has the
Domain Controller of my Office LAN and while connecting
client computers to it, the WinXP clients behaved rather
funny. Using the Network ID wizard, the computer joind the
domain and takes the new DNS names. There is full access
to network resources. However, upon shutting down and
rebooting the XP clients, after initial logon during
bootup, each time I try to access a network resource, the
computer asks for my username and password and tells me
Logon Unsuccessful. Remember that it accepted this during
startup. Another point is that some users which were
originally authenticated to logon, now get "The domain
could not be contacted" message.

HELLLLPPPPPPP.

I had an identical problem (literally) on NT4 Domain,
turned out to be our outdated AntiVirus, which
incidentally WAS compatible with W2k.
We were using F-Secure 5.3, on upgrading to 5.4 all was
well needing no other alterations. I suspect other
AntiVirus progs may need patches or upgrades.

Hope I helped

Check you have latest version of anti virus, I had exact
saem problem on NT4 Domain with AntiVirus software which
worked on W2K PC's but not XP pro, simple upgrade to
latest AV and all was well
