To the experienced:

I have a ton of these "Event ID: 5774, Source: netlogon" in my system log
folder. I have done enough research to know that it has something to do with
my DNS configurations. Recently, our workgroup was migrated over to the new
domain, and I recall that when it came to the DNS config's, the gentleman I
was working together with wasn't sure how to, so we left it alone.

The idea was that this person was going to show me the ropes on how to setup
a domain, and use active directory and so forth. Unfortunately, since the
migration, the network has had nothing but small irretating quirks that
continually popr up interrupting the office work flow. These problems
include, 1)slow initial logon, and 2)major connectivity issues with network
mapped pathways. It is important to know that problem #2 is only in Windows
XP Pro Operating Systems.

The Server is running on Windows 2000 Server, and connecting to 12 clients
using Windows 2000 Professional, and Windows XP Professional Operating
Systems.

Thanks for your time,

Sweeper.

This is a classic example when the machines are using an external DNS
address (the ISP's servers probably), in all of the internal machines' IP
properties. Since DNS stores all of AD's service location records, all
machines MUST ONLY use the internal server in their IP properties. So when a
client tries to login, it asks DNS, "Which domain controller do I send my
logon credentials too?". If using the ISP's, that server does not have the
answer, and hence the long logon times, which is actually one of a vast
number of problems that arise from this. Configure a forwarder for efficient
Internet resolution, or just let is use the Root Hints by default.

Also, if you have a single label AD DNS domain name, such as "domain"
instead of "domain.com", that can be a bigger problem, especially if in
conjunction with the above.

Tell you what, instead of conjecturing, can you *please* post some info that
will help us pinpoint this, such as:

1. Ipconfig /all of your server and of one of your clients
2. Name of the AD DNS domain name
3. The spelling of the zone in DNS and if updates are allowed.

Thanks.

Hello Ace,

Thank you for responding so promptly, I will do my best to answer the 3
questions given at the end of your email.

1. Ipconfig /all of your server and of one of your clients:

Here's the server settings:
=================

Windows 2000 IP Configuration

Host Name: ppdserver1
Primary DNS Suffix: ppdcustom.paperproductsdesign.com
Node Type: Hybrid
IP Routing Enabled: No
WINS Proxy Enabled: No
DNS Suffix Search List: ppdcustom.paperproductsdesiogn.com
paperproductsdesign.com

Ethernet Adapter Local Area Connection:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix: ppdcustom.paperproductsdesign.com
DHCP Enabled: Yes
Autoconfiguration Enabled: Yes
IP Address: 200.200.200.20
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 200.200.200.1
DHCP Servers: 200.200.200.1

Here's a client setting:
==============

Host Name: dell7gl
Primary DNS Suffix: ppdcustom.paperproductsdesign.com
Node Type: Unknown
IP Routing Enabled: No
WINS Proxy Enabled: No
DNS Suffix Search List: ppdcustom.paperproductsdesiogn.com
paperproductsdesign.com

Ethernet Adapter Local Area Connection:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix:
DHCP Enabled: Yes
Autoconfiguration Enabled: Yes
IP Address: 200.200.200.6
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 200.200.200.1
DHCP Server: 200.200.200.1
DNS Servers: 200.200.200.1

Above, the Connection-specific DNS Suffix is blank.

2. Name of the AD DNS Domain Name:

ppdcustom.paperproductsdesign.com

3. The spelling of the zone and if updates are allowed:

Inside Forward Lookup Zones is: ppdcustom.paperproductsdesign.com

It's Active Directory-Integrated and in:

Allow Dynamic updates? is Yes.

I hope I have answered your questions correctly, and thanks for taking the
time.

Sweeper.

Your problem is several things all rolled into one.
The Domain Controller must have a statically assigned IP address and its
address must be used for DNS in TCP/IP properties of the DC and all members.

If the router is not capable of assigning the Domain Controllers static
address for DNS in its DHCP service, I'd recommend disabling DHCP on the
router and configuring DHCP on a Windows server. If the DC is the only
Windows server then use DHCP on it. Run the new scope wizard, set up the
routers address as the Gateway (option 003), the Domain Controllers address
for the DNS server (option 006) and the Domain Name (option 015)

This will make your errors go away and greatly speed up the start up and
logon time, you didn't mention that part, but I'd put good money on saying
it takes 15 to 30 minutes to start up and logon.
