Can we see an ipconfig /all from the DNS/WINS server (10.1.1.99) and from
10.1.1.141 please? That may give us a better start to diagnose this.
Thanks

CPU 2 is a Clean install (different Hardware) that I join from workgroup to
the 2003 Domain "eei.local" and get no Event Errors.
This seems to effect any machine joined to the NT 4 domain will get the
Event Error at startup while a fresh install works fine. All machines are
getting their IP addresses from the 2003 server.
I really don't want to have to do a fresh install on all the machines. I'm
going to have enough trouble with not being able to tranfer the user
profiles
Sorry I took to long to respond. You have two NICs with IPs on the same
subnet. Are they "teamed"? If not, this can cause issues, especially since
one has a gateway and the other does not.
For Kerberos failures, for starters, I would make sure that the clocks are
all synched within 5 minutes of each other. What is in your Event Logs?
What is the Event error? What specifically are the Event ID #'s?
I may have sovled the problem or at least a workable solution. After
searching around I notice it had something to do with NETLOGON time. I
tryied to delay it with little luck I could get rid of the Error message but
caused other errors. I finally came across a fix for NT which suggested
uninstalling TCPIP and reinstalling it. Since, I could do that under my
network card, I just uninstalled the whole card and it worked. On the next
machine I just updated to a newer driver and that worked. On the next
machine I'm just going to reinstall the current driver and see if that
helps.

to know what the cause for it and if there is a better solution.

When you resolve your domain name does it resolve only to a Domain
Controller's IP address on an interface that has File Shring enabled?
Can you access the SYSVOL DFS share by your domain name? i.e.
\\domain.com\SYSVOL
Can you also access the Group Policy location by your domain name? i.e
\\domain.com\SYSVOL\domain.com\policies
Is your Domain name a single-label name? (domain vs domain.com)

Anything else?

If hh.hrm.lan is the domain name then DNS is not the issue.
What OS is giving you the error?
You can also see userenv errors if the DC is multihomed, or if you have an
incorrect DNS in the DNS list.
I am baffled by this!

I would have guessed it was XP, there is an issue with the Web Client on XP
causing slow access to the DFS share. This was corrected on SP1, have you
installed SP1 for XP?

Is your DC multihomed?
Are you using the DC only for DNS on all machines?
Hope you understand what my configuration.
Thanks!

Is hh.hrm.lan and ht.hrm.lan child domains for hrm.lan?
hrm.lan should have delegations named hh and ht in it going to the DNS
servers that have the zones even if the zone is on the same DNS server. The
delegation keeps the hierarchy working.
As I said if any DC is multihomed it can cause communication to fail.
Yes hh.hrm.lan and ht.hrm.lan are child domains.
Yes I do have the 2 child domains setup in my hrm.lan dns as delegation.
Seems like I have everything that you mentioned set right. You think there
might be something else?
Thanks

With a delegation, provided that they were delegated properly, the child
domain's DNS server should be the only DNS that the child domain clients
will use. You want to also set a search suffix for the parent domain if it's
not already auto set. Then in the child domain's DNS server, set a forwarder
to the parent domain's DNS server.
255248 - HOW TO Create a Child Domain in Active Directory and Delegate the
DNS Namespace to the Child Domain:
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=255248
Now if you are using all 3 DNS server IP addresses in all your clients, then
I can see why you're getting mixed results. You need to only use the DNS
server that was delegated for the child zone for the child clients.
Otherwise, make sure a copy of all your zones are on each DNS. But what I
see is you have delegation and provided it;'s configured properly, it should
just work.
Sorry for the delay in responding... did you ever get this fixed?
If the clocks say the same time but they are in different time zones, then
that would cause a problem since Kerberos has a 5 minute skew policy.

Well, yes you can, since they all have copies of everything.
You would still individually forward out to the ISP's.
Hope that makes sense!

Yes it does, so you may as well forward to your own external DNS.
