Thanks, I tried the domain\user all ready and it didn't work. &nbsp;I will look at the DNS zone. &nbsp;Nothing in the DC logs. &nbsp;I did run a DCDiag and it came back that &quot;No Global SErvers are online&quot;.

I found that a DC that I had demoted to a member server was the GCS of record and it was sysfu. &nbsp;Once I reset it I could transfer the role to the new 2003 server and all is well. &nbsp;Thanks for your help!<br />

Why is one 2003 server suddenly asking for users to login?

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
