I had to format a computers hard drive because it had a very nasty virus (Windows XP Recovery) and I spent more then 2 days trying to get rid of. Finally I gave up and formated the hard drive, connected to our domain with no problem, installed Windows XP and Office 2003, installed all of MS Updates for XP and Office, installed other software that the user uses. I than went to map a couple of network drives through Explorer/ My Network Places/. clicked on Microsoft Windows Network, click on our network name (ie yourcompanyname)and wait and wait and wait. Finally a message will come up saying:
” yourcompanyname is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the adminsitrator to this server to find out if you have access permissions.
The list of servers for this workgroup is not currently available”
1) I am logged in as a Domain admin and I am getting this message.
2) I am JOINED to the yourcompanyname Domain – (and I have rebooted).
3) When I could not access the network resources and saw the message above I decided to JOIN a workgroup (named Temporary), reboot, logged in, Join the yourcompanyname Domain, rebooted and I am still getting the above message.
4) the login scrip that is performed when the user or I log into the network maps 4 drives to the network. I do have access to the files on those 4 drive mappings.
5) I can go out to the internet and surf it.
Why is this happening.
Thanks in advance for any and all assistance in this. 🙂
