The basic problem is that \\domain.com\sysvol cannot be found. The machine
has one NIC with multiple IP addresses on that NIC. When I do nslookup
domain.com. I get a complete list of the addresses assigned to the NIC. If
I try dir \\domain.com\sysvol I get "The network path was not found". Yet
if I try dir \\10.0.0.2\sysvol or any of the other IP addresses, the command
works.
I am stumped - any thoughts ?

To my knowledge, there are a number of factors that may be the cause of this
issue. One of these is a bug but it's best to check the following before
obtaining the related fix from Microsoft:
1. That both DC's point to the same server as the preferred DNS server.
2. Ensure that "Digitally sign server communication (always)" and "Digitally
sign server communication (when possible)" match on all DC's in the "Local
Security Policy" -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> Local
Policies -> Security Options. Default settings are:
Microsoft Network Client: Digitally Sign Communication (always)
Microsoft Network Client: Digitally Sign Communication (if server agrees)
Microsoft Network Server: Digitally Sign Communication (always)
Microsoft Network Server: Digitally Sign Communication (if client agrees)
3. In the "Domain Controller Security Policy", ensure that Windows
Settings -> Security Settings -> Local Policies -> User Rights Assignment
includes the "Everyone" group.
4. If any DC's use a Gigabit NIC, try updating the driver or an alternate
device?
5. Ensure that the Netlogon service on all DC's is set to "Automatic"
startup and that the service is successfully starting.
6. Ensure that the Distributed File System service on all DC's is set to
"Automatic" startup and that the service is successfully starting.
7. Ensure that Administrators and System have Full Control access to the
GPT.INI file and the full directory path specified in the events?
8. Provided you don't currently have anything important set in the Default
Domain or Default Domain Controllers policies, try running the following on
the PDC emulator. NOTE: This will completely replace the existing policies
with the defaults.
dcgpofix /target:both
9. Ensure that Remote Desktop Sharing is not enabled (Properties of My
Computer -> Remote Tab -> Uncheck "Allow users to connect remotely to this
computer." Click OK.
10. Ensure that Offline Files are enabled (Open Windows Explorer -> Tools
Menu -> Folder Options -> Offline Files Tab -> check "Enable Offline Files"
and "Synchronize all offline files when logging on."). Click OK.
Failing these steps, contact Microsoft and request the hotfix associated
with knowledge the following knowledge base article:
830676 Group Policy processing fails with Events 1058 and 1030 in
Windows
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=830676
While this article does not specifically state there is a hotfix available
for the issue, I've provided it in a couple of cases and this has resolved
the problem.

I realised after I posted my response yesterday that this advice makes the
assumption that the 1030 and 1058's contain certain information in the event
description. Specifically, the 1058's should raise "(Access is denied)" as
the cause for failure. If you're seeing something else, please post the
actual event descriptions that you're seeing.
Kind regards

Mark - thanks for the response. I've gone through your list and have some
additional questions / clarifications (see below).

I only have one DC - it points to itself as the DNS server

Can you clarify which policy / policies should have Everyone assigned to
them ?

Done, although I had to add Administrators to the list (the directory wasn't
inheriting from the parent)

This fails with the message :
Unable to read EFS certificates from Registry.pol file of Default Domain
Policy. The error was
The network path was not found.
I assume that this is related to the underlying issue. I ran dcgpofix on
the DC.

This is enabled (for admin purposes). Is it really a factor in this problem
?

This can't be enabled due to the Remote Desktop sharing
.

Not sure that this is access denied - it can't find the file. And that is
because it can't resolve antamy.com into an IP address.

I had a quick go at researching this for you. From what I can see, the
hotfix may still be of assistance in this case. Other than that, it might
be related to the DFS Service as discussed in:

If these suggestions don't assist with the issue, you're probably best
logging a case with Microsoft to investigate further. If you go down this
path, they will be able to request data from the Domain Controller in a
non-public forum and investigate to a much greater depth.

I'd suggest loggin a case with Microsoft. I've covered everything I know of
as a cause of this issue and if you've still got it, it'll probably take
some reasonably involved troubleshooting.
