[gptalk] Re: Default Homepage Mess..

I think i found the problem. When i used GPMC and changed Domain controllers
to PHPRINT1 (DC WITH WRONG TIME) i noticed the homepage setting was still
enabled! I removed it. However, this shines a light on GPO replication not
working correctly, as demonstrated in the dcdiag.

i want to try and fix the time situtation, but when i run a w32tm
/unregister while logged into the PHPRINT1 ( Member DC) as a Domain Admin, i
get a "access denied" ?

how else could i troubleshoot ?
