No Domain Location on PC

[jnalpak]

i can log in as a user of the domain but when i try to add the user to the administrators group (i am logged in as domain admin) it does not show me the LOCATION for Domain, only the local box...

Anyone see this before and know a fix?
thanks

Check to see if your SRV records are missing

How to recreate SRV records:
Add an srv record to the DNS zone
Stop the netlogon service
Delete netlogon.dns and netlogon.dnb
Start netlogon service

after i start Netlogon what am i looking for?
also, i have no srv (server location) in DNS...

the machines that are in question where all GHOSTED so i wonder if XP got smart and no longer allows that...

When you "Ghosted" the machines, did you use "Ghost Walker"? Ghost Walker allows you to change the SID on each computer that you "Ghost" copied. If you did run Ghost Walker on every machine that was Ghosted, then all the machines have the same SID. The SID is what's used to authenticate the user, not the user name. SID stands for "Security Identifier". You can also prepare the image using Microsoft’s "SYSPREP" tool.


"The Windows 2000 System Preparation Tool (Sysprep) Version 1.1 enables administrators to prepare Windows 2000 System Images as part of an automated deployment. Sysprep 1.1 is an update to Sysprep 1.0 and adds the ability to reduce the number of images required in a deployment by supporting multiple mass storage controllers".

You can download Sysprep from Microsoft Web site:

it was a faulty GHOST image. The tech who did the ghost did so with a retail winxp/office2k3 instead of VLK. oh well, HE learned his lesson
