Logged into an NT 4.0 server as administrator.&nbsp;&nbsp;The server participates in a domain.<br><br>We can create shares without error.&nbsp;&nbsp;The default access for &quot;Everyone&quot; is there, but when we click on &quot;Add Users and Groups&quot;, the user list does not appear.&nbsp;&nbsp;Instead, there is the following message:<br><br>&quot;Unable to browse the selected domain because the following error occurred: The parameter is incorrect.&quot;<br><br>We can click the search button, and add users that way without a problem.&nbsp;&nbsp;The server can browse the network, and User Manager for Domains shows the entire list of users without error.<br><br>Does anyone know why this is happening?
 
We get this sometimes, particularly when the network is loaded or we are adding access rights for new users / groups. SP6 cures some of the problems, UM replication also helps.<br><br>I find going to a command prompt and doing net accounts /sync beforehand sometimes stops it. Of course nothing is foolproof in GatesLand...
 
You didn't specify what the client OS is, but I have run across this error in Windows 9x and it specificly relates to the Remote Pipes drivers, version mismatches and the like.<br><br>If the OS is NT...then applying/re-applying the current Service Pack should resolve it.<br><br>If the OS in Win 95 you can resolve the issue by downloading DCOM95 1.3 from Microsoft and install.<br><br><br><br>dxd
