GPO not applied to clients

[Guillermo Lovato]

win2k3 domain, single server environment.

in all clients i have userenv events with the following:
Event Type: Error
Event Source: Userenv
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1054
Date: 03/06/2005
Time: 10:52:08
User: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
Computer: TARJETA02
Description:
Windows cannot obtain the domain controller name for your computer network.
(An unexpected network error occurred. ). Group Policy processing aborted.

I did a netdiag on the server itself and i found this odd thing:
[WARNING] You don't have a single interface with the <00> 'WorkStation
Service', <03> 'Messenger Service', <20> 'WINS' names defined.

Doing a gpresult on the client machine shows that only the "default domain
policy" is applied.

sysvol is accesible from the workstations

right now i'm baffled, i have no idea what to do to fix this.

thanks in advance

I would also run dcdiag and gpotool on the domain controller and netdiag on
a domain computer that is having the problem receiving the Group Policy.
Verify that the domain computers are using only the domain controller as
their preferred dns server in tcp/ip properties and as shown with ipconfig
/all. You should also be able to ping the domain controller from any domain
workstation by tcp/ip address and fully qualified domain name and vice
versa. I would also use nslookup to verify that the domain workstation shows
only the domain controller as its dns server and that it can resolve names
for the domain including that if you enter the domain controller's name it
shows the correct IP address for the domain controller. If your domain
controller for some reason has more than one network adapter or is also a
rras server you can easily have problems as described. --- Steve
