Hi I have just created my first Domain controller in my win2k3 box by following the "dcpromo command" every thing looks good, then I created 2 users 1, test1 2, test2. and joined the domain on 2 windows xp computers successfully(sorry for my vague explanation)

2nd I loged on to the domain controller using test1 on my windows XP (pc1)
successful. then the same for test2 on xp (pc2)

which comes to my main problem I log off both machines and try to log on to pc1 using the test2 user and pc2 using test1.
I get an error the domain cannot be found???? but i joined the domain and I can see the domain name in the drop down box in the authentication box, I created the accounts in Active directory and computers??

what have I done wrong????

please help

Cross-posting/reposting doesn't get answers any quicker. It just confuses things, if different approaches are explored.

There are also "common courtesy" aspects for others using these forums. So what that means... Unproductive postings (cross-posting, double posting, thread hi-jacking, etc.) ultimately degrade the effectiveness of the forums as an information source for all others.

Not too many SOHO networks running Windows 2003 Server. You might try http://www.enterpriseitplanet.com. They also have a forum too and it is geared at business networks.
