I ran netdiag (everything was fine) Then I ran gpresult on the problem
server and also on another server in the domain that is not having the
problem. The only difference I see is between the gpresults is:
 Server that isn't receiving properly
The computer received "Security" settings from these GPOs:

        Local Group Policy
            Revision Number: 27
            Unique Name: Local Group Policy
            Domain Name:
            Linked to: Local computer

        Default Domain Policy
            Revision Number: 311
            Unique Name: {31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9}
            Domain Name: DOM.FB
            Linked to: Domain (DC=DOM,DC=FB)

        Win2KBaseline
            Revision Number: 206
            Unique Name: {33EA3AD8-3435-448E-868F-9043840DBC7B}
            Domain Name: DOM.FB
            Linked to: Organizational Unit (OU=CENTRAL,DC=DOM,DC=FB)

Server that is receiving properly
The computer received "Security" settings from these GPOs:

        Default Domain Policy
            Revision Number: 311
            Unique Name: {31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9}
            Domain Name: DOM.FB

            Domain Name: DOM.FB

Does the problem have to do with the extra setting (Revision number
27)?
