My GPO’s and even the domain GPO do not work so I did a resulant of policy (logging) on a pc & found this msg
Group Policy Infrastructure failed due to the error listed below.
The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted.
Note: Due to the GP Core failure, none of the other Group Policy components processed their policy. Consequently, status information for the other components
So I though my AD was screwed & reinstalled w2k3 ,but when I reinstalled (clean install) I got this msg when I set my server as a Domain Contoler
Diagnostic Failed
The registration diagnostic has been run 1 time.
Warning: Domain Controller functions like joining a domain, logging onto a domain, and Active Directory replication will not be available until the DNS infrastructure for Active Directory is correctly configured.
The wizard encountered an error while trying to determine if the DNS server with which this domain controller will register supports dynamic updates.
For more information, including steps to correct this problem, see Help.
Details
The primary DNS server tested was: localhost.xyz.com (127.0.0.1)
The zone was: xyz.com
The test for dynamic DNS update support returned:
“This operation returned because the timeout period expired.”
(error code 0x000005B4 ERROR_TIMEOUT)
So I said yes to in stall DNS on my server all seemed to install ok. but still the problem with my AD & GPO’s all the reset seem ok.user logging file tansfer ok.
Went in DNS & did a launch NSLOOKUP & got this
*** Can’t find server name for address 192.168.1.95: Non-existent domain
Default Server: UnKnown
Address: 192.168.1.95
I use a wireless hub who is also configed as a DHCP but Iam using the ports in the hub & assigned static IP address my internet works fine on all pc’s
