     Netdiag will need to installed. You can download from MS or install
from XP cdrom under support/tools folder - run setup file there for tools.
XP machine must be joined to domain to use domain group policies. I would
recommend unassign ipsec domain policy until you can verify that XP box is
joined to domain and communicating with dc as should be using netdiag. Do
not use require (secure server) policy on dc as it seems to cause unreliable
communications with domain clients and will not allow new workstations to be
joined to the domain. --- Steve
