Morning all, hopefully you can help me and apologies for the long post
I am the network admin for an office with 60 XP Pro pc's with a mix of 2000/2003 servers.
All pc's pickup their settings via GPO fine, except a new one I have received (xp pro SP2). I am setting up this pc for imaging, however it is not picking up computer GPO's on bootup. It presents the Ctrl-alt-del very quickly and eventid 1054
"Windows cannot obtain the domain controller name for your computer network. (The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted. ). Group Policy processing aborted" is logged.
If I log in as an ordinary user the user GPO's are applied fine..and If i run gpupdate/ force Computer & User GPO's are applied OK.
The pc gets its IP address using DHCP, as do all the pc's in the office...
Any ideas ??
