On numerous machines (not all) we get the following error in the Event log
when the machine is first booted (before login):
"No Domain Controller is available for domain LVC_JNJ due to the following:
There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon
request..."
This is followed by W32Time errors (ID 29 & 14).  These errors only occur
prior to login and only seem to affect Group Policies from taking affect
which IS a problem for us.  The policies eventually take affect after
multiple reboots, etc.  For trouble-shooting steps - I have moved machines
around (problem stays with machine).  I have re-joined the domain (doesn't
help).  We have tried new network switches AND we have recently replaced our
domain controllers (same domain - just moved to new servers (using DCpromo)).
If I assigned a static IP to the machine - the problem seems to go away (we
are using MS DHCP services on our domain controllers - these DHCP servers are
also new).

I hope this makes sense and that someone has seen this and/or knows what
steps to take next!

Thanks!

Yeah - I run those periodically and clean anything up.  They check out fine -
no errors other than the WINS error with Netdiag.  DCdiag comes up clean
almost every time.

The fact that it works with a static IP suggests that DHCP is assigning
incorrect DNS server address(es).

ipconfig /all 

should reveal what is being assigned.

DNS is correct - we have 2 DNS servers (AD integrated) and they are getting
assigned properly to all workstations.  Again - this is with only some
workstations - not all workstations and we only have one subnet (~45
computers).  My workstation and many others do NOT get these errors but
others do.

Thanks!
