Re: application log error
Hello Michael,
And for the 2003 domain if you have any issues, please post them also. Hopefully
we find solutions for it. What you really should do on the 2003 domain, run
dcdiag and netdiag to check for errors. And also have a look on the event
viewers of your servers to fix all errors and also check the warnings.
Best regards
