Hi Steven

Thanx for your kind suggestion. But we tried Netdiag and Dcdiag tools. But
we couldn't find any problems in it. We are not using ISP IP as DNS server
address. What we are suspecting is might be some policies are applied on
Administrator account. Pls kindly let me know is there any other solution to
opening Security Policies like Domain Security Policy and Domain Controller
Security Policy in Domain Controller or Additional Domain Controller.
Waiting for your reply.

Thanks and Regards
Rajam
