I ahve just found this article Problem: This was an error with the Group Policy Objects being applied through Active Directory in that Default Group Policy was somehow linked to two different Group Policies. The fix Microsoft gave me: "Unlinking, NOT DELETING, the Default Group Policy (see the link below), refreshing policy information and logging all users off and then back on fixed the problem. This did not effect any newly created policies, just the Default Group Policy made when installing Active Directory." Does this sound like the problem I have with the win2k machine being connected to 2 seperate domains? _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx
