    Hello,

            This is my first time posting. Ever since we patched our Windows 2003
    Server Domain Controllers
    with MS03 - 048 we've been having problems. The authentication on the PDC
    was some how altered on by
    the cumulative patch that it will no longer replicate with the BDC because
    it no longer trusts it. This is causing
    major problems for us on our network as both out of sync DCs are putting
    out different information preventing
    us from adding new users, adding new computers and sharing printers to name
    a few. Has anyone else
    experienced this problem? The event logs on the PDC is failure after
    failure after failure.

            What's weird is even after I uninstalled the patch the problem will not go
    away and the DCs still will not sync.
    However, I did not remove the patch from the BDC. I guess I can try that
    out and see's if that will resolve it. I didn't
    try it before because it was actually accepting logon requests and other
    service requests from everyone successfully.
    Then when I take the PDC offline, the BDC takes over for real and starts
    failing as well.

            Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

    Thanks,
    John

    is vastly harder than it's being made to sound, and how special
    interests, *** covering, and bureaucracy are threatening to derail any
    chance of making progress.
