If anyone can offer any info to this problem it would be appreciated. I have
just recently joined about 15 XP Pro workstations with Service Pack2 on one
of my domains. Shortly after joining these systems to the domain I started
experiencing some problems that I can't resolve which I believe are related
to SR2. After logging back on to these systems with either the domain or
local admin account I cannont access several of the Admin tools, can't access
properties of the network connection(s), can't run a search on the system,
can't access these systems in My Network Places from other workstations
and/or vice/versa, and maybe some other "things" that I haven't discovered
yet. I haven't had any of these problems with other XP Pro workstations on
the domain that don't have SR2 installed on them. Also, I did disable the
firewall and I also tried stopping and disabling the firewall service.

Thanks,

Scott

I've had basically the same kinds of problems after installing SP2, but not
on a regular basis - in fact only twice that I'm aware of. Are these 15
machines identical Ghosted images? If so that might explain why they're all
doing it. Unfortunately I can't offer much advice. My solution was to
re-install.

Yes, they were built from Ghost images. This sucks. There has to be some
solution other than rebuilding.
