We've just upgraded from a satellite internet connection to a DSL connection.
Due to the limitations of satellite I've never explored the possibilities
that SBS offers. Now that I have DSL, I want to set SBS up to work for us.
Somewhere in my conversion I've lost the ability of my workstations to
connect to the domain. When attempting to logon the "The system cannot log
you on now because the domain GRANT is not available." When the server was
connected to the satellite, workstations were able to log onto the domain.
Somewhere in my settings changes, I've lost that ability.
Workstations are all XP Pro SP2.
I am able to log into Exchange email from outside the network using webmail
and from the workstations, using a locally stored profile and Outlook. I can
also log into the network stores but have to enter username and password each
time. I am also able to surf the web from the workstations. I can also use
remote desktop from outside the network over the web.
When I try to use the XP Network ID wizard I get this error:
DNS was successfully queried for the service location (SRV) resource record
used to locate a domain controller for domain GRANT.MCKINLEYFUNERAL.COM:
The query was for the SRV record for
_ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.GRANT.MCKINLEYFUNERAL.COM
The following domain controllers were identified by the query:
grant1.grant.mckinleyfuneral.com
Common causes of this error include:
- Host (A) records that map the name of the domain controller to its IP
addresses are missing or contain incorrect addresses.
- Domain controllers registered in DNS are not connected to the network or
are not running.

Hoping I didn't forget something to help with my problem. Let me know what
else is needed for proper diagnosis.
Thanks
