Got it working! thanks!

The problem is solved. Someone configured TCP/IP to point to the default gateway as primairy DNS server. When I corrected this setting so it points to the dns on the domain controller, the errors stopped showing up.

Dear all, Can someone give me a hint on what's causing the following errors: My customer has build an internal domain with a Windows 2003 domain controller with DNS. Unfortunately he used a public domainname for the internal domain. ("MyCustomer.com") Now, whenever the domain controller is rebooted, 34 similar error messages appear in the system eventlog: Event ID: 5774 Source: NETLOGON Description: The dynamic registration of the record 'DomainDnsZones.MyCustomer.com. 600 IN A 10.0.0.1 failed on the following DNS server: 193.78.240.1. Response code:5 Returned status code 9017 I have no idea why this domain controller tries to make registrations on an external DNS server. This external dns server is probably authoritive for the public website which runs (stupid) on the same domainname www.MyCustomer.com, but even so, from an internal perspective this domain controller should not do anything with an external server. Any clues would be welcome! Thanks in advance! pecomees

Dsadd would come in handy yes. Since this only seems to work for 2003, I used a bit more complex VBS script. It works. Thanks four your help!

In my windows 2000 domain I need to be able to add security groups to specific OU's FROM THE COMMAND LINE. (in order to script large amount of new groups) Does anybody know how to do this in a windows 2000 domain?? Thanks in advance!

I was also troubled by misterious reboots once. It turned out to be fault memmory. After replacing the mem. the server was stable.

Any help would be appreciated very much! To upgrade our W2K DC to W2003, we need to prep the AD Forest for W2003. We log on to the DC with an enterpise/domain admin account and we run the "adprep /forestprep" command. Error: A previous schema extension has defined the attribute value as "2.5.5.4" for object "PreferedLanguage" diferently than the schema extension needed for Windows 2003 server. [status/consequence] Adprep cannon extend your existing Schema [user Action] Resolve the inconsistency then run adprep again

Both services COM+ and DTC are running. No events about them. First occurrence of event 7020 after installing hotfixes MS05-043 , MS05-051.

It works from the Windows GUI and not from the Command shell within the same Windows session? Then try a persistent mapping on LPT1 to the print UNC path and configure the DOS app to use LTP1 as default printer.

I own 5 W2K SP4 installed servers. When rebooting, all of the servers state the event id: 7022 The Automatic Updates service hung on starting. Cause unknown. Suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks in advance. Pecomees
