OK, here is something - this is from the DCDiag text file: ----------------------- The following error occurred when DNS was queried for the service location (SRV) resource record used to locate a domain controller for domain special-tees.com: The error was: "This operation returned because the timeout period expired." (error code 0x000005B4 ERROR_TIMEOUT) The query was for the SRV record for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.special-tees.com The DNS servers used by this computer for name resolution are not responding. This computer is configured to use DNS servers with the following IP addresses: 192.168.1.1 Verify that this computer is connected to the network, that these are the correct DNS server IP addresses, and that at least one of the DNS servers is running. -------------------------------------------- There is the problem ... how do I fix it??? Do I add a SRTV record for special-tees.com pointing to the internet, or a bogus entry since there is no longer that Domain with that address? Bob
