When I try to delete and recreate the DNS zones with AD integration it tells me that the AD service has not been started. I don't understand why it would say this if I am indeed running AD.

Okay I just ran the DCDIAG program from the Windows 2000 Support Tools and the following was outputted:

We have a user who works off-site a lot for another company but often returns here. He has a laptop and is running Windows 2000. The other company has added his laptop to their...

I think that's exactly what I need to do. Could you please explain to me how I would go about doing that? Sorry if I seem stupid here. I attempted to just add the group "Everyone" as a...

OK, this is getting a little frustrating but I fixed one thing and found another problem. The reason that users were unable to delete from remote machines was because I had share access setup as...

Here's what I did...

I went into the Default Domain Policy properties menu and gave a specific group access to read/write/delete/create. This resolved the issue for users to delete files/folders...

I just configured the Group Policies for the domain and that seemed to have fixed the problems. I'm not quite sure if it will fix the password change problem or if that's another policy somewhere...

I'm sorry I just double-checked and we are indeed using AD and the machines have successfully been added to the domain. All users and machines are present and can be seen through Active Directory.

XP Pro on the new machines. The 2k server is acting as a domain server although I'm not sure if we are utilizing active directory or not. I'm not too familiar with that; however, I do know that it...
