I just installed new network with W2K Server running Active Directory. Most clients are w2k but also some win98SE. Initially, I had no problems getting PCs and users logged into network. Now, I have 3 accounts that w2k says are "unable to find".I have reset passwords, tried on differnet PCs, to no avail. Now, every new account I create is having same issue. I have no group policies set up and no real permissions issues either. I have even added several of the accounts to domain admin group but still no login. I'm worried this will get progressively worse! PCs have static IPs, and network connectivity on PCs is fine with other logins. Help!

Are you making the accounts a member of any groups,
ie: administrator, user or power user etc.
Do this under computer management console.

Hope this helps

I have added accounts to the domain admins group and that didn't help. The accounts can't logon to any PC. I finally went to a computer where the one account couldn't logon and others could, removed it from the domain and re-added it. Magically, the account was able to then login. I'm perplexed! Not sure where to go from here!

Just thinking but could this be a DNS issue? A colleague said that because I'm using my internet domain name as the suffix for my internal w2k domain that this could be creating these intermittent problems with name resolution. Any ideas?
