Is the same group policy linked to the Windows 7 and XP computers? Also, make sure that if you are defining a secure screen saver via this GPO "Screen Saver Executable Name" then

If so, please try to disable it to check the result. If this is not the case, I also would like to suggest you refer to the following Microsoft KB article for further troubleshooting suggestions.

Check your logs for 1704'sCheck your DCs event logs to make sure AD replication and FRS are working. Make sure the clients are pointed to the DCs for DNS (assuming you are running DNS on your DCs, which you should be).Check your DNS config. Are autoupdates enabled? Are the SRV records there?

Is "register this connection..." enabled on DCs and clients?Do you have the Windows 2000 support tools installed on the DCs? You should. If so, open a command prompt and run 'repadmin /showreps' Look for any errors. waffle Smack-Fu Master, in training Registered: Aug 24, 2001Posts: 72 Posted: Fri Sep 12, 2003 12:24 pm The DC is running DNS and all the clients point to the DC for DNS and all of them have "register this connection" enabled.
