More info?)
I saw the error during the upgrade. I will try
uninstalling and reinstalling DNS today. No errors in
the event log for DNS. But my RAS 2003 server will no
longer connect to it. Can't find Active Directory. And
since the DNS problem is the only one I can find, I
figure that's the problem. I installed the latest
service packs Thursday.
Thanks for your help.
