Hi,
Server 2003 this box is a member of my domain. When I try to add domain
users to local administrator group or add domain users to folder share
permissions,
I cant do it the only location listed is for the local machine and I cant
get the domin to be included in the listing of locations......
I can use the network places /entire netowrk to browse the entire domain

There is no difference if I log on tothis server as a local administrator on
the local machine of if I log on as the domain admin on the domain

thanks for any ideas

You'll need to be logged into the domain to do this anyway, AFAIK - but
once you have, check that your IP config lists only your internal DNS
server(s), that your DNS suffix is correct, and then that you don't see any
errors in your event logs indicating a communication problem with AD.

What, lil old me? You'll make me blush. I'm a slug, myself, if you must
know.

Hope the advice helps.

Me? No, never was. I do love the site, though. Maybe you're getting me
confused with someone else...

The DC? ick.

Good - as long as it's the internal DNS IP. :-)
