The other thing to check would have been that block inheritance is not set on the
Domain Controller Security Policy and to look in Event Viewer for any pertinent error
messages. The KB below lists default account policy settings for the domain. The
easiest way to implement would be to manually enter the settings in the domain
policy. A zero would indicate a disabled setting. --- Steve

everything back to default until 2003.
