Seacon,

On a network winch uses DNS solely to locate resources, you have to setup your
domain, and DNS infrastructure, precisely.

If you can run "browstat status" and "ipconfig /all", from 2 or preferably 3
computers, and post the results here, we can help you identify the problem.
This article will explain how to provide both diagnostics. The more details
about your network that you can provide, the better chance of identifying the
problem.

Or, you may benefit from reading this troubleshooting list, and resolving each
problem found.

i found this entry at event log, its has created many entries to the event
log and it is repeating the process.
Event ID 1000
Source Userenv

Windows cannot access the registry information at
\\domain.com\sysvol\domain.com\Policies\{31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9}\Machine\registry.pol with (1231).

i found that, one of our user had tried to do someting in the server and by
mistake delete or uninstall something. i guess something has happen to the
DNS server. can i configure new DNS server and try to connect, will this
cause damage further more.

I dont have sysvol backup to replace sysvol

Seacon,

Yesterday, you were asking about one computer that was having trouble seeing
other computers, which in my suspicion, indicated either:
# A browser conflict.
# A (relatively) simple DNS setup problem.

I suggested 2 procedures which have been done successfully by others asking for
help here in the past, and asked for some simple diagnostics to help confirm or
deny my suspicions.

You came back with a portion of the requested diagnostics, and the news that
"one of our user had tried to do someting in the server and by mistake delete or
uninstall something".

IMHO, you have passed the point where you can be helped by this forum. You need
to seek the support of an experienced, local professional to work on site, to
repair the damage, and to secure the network so your users can't work on things
they have no business working on.

I apologise for being blunt, but if you depend upon your computer network for
your business, I think that's what you need to do.

If you feel that this advice is erroneous, or if you need further advice for
specific problems, please let us know.
