Interesting theory. That's a possibility. I don't know how AD could be
corrupted in 2 weeks flat, but I'm sure they found a way. :D I'll check
this out.
Thanks...

I ran into this a few weeks ago when applying permissions to terminal server
protocol connections.
Found that the problem was the DC's in the domain had a corrupted AD replica
on it and some of the DC's in the site weren't replicating correctly, so
when the terminal server booted and if the DC it connected to to join the
machine to the domain happened to be the one which had the corrupted replica
on it it would thrown up the GUID of the user account instead.
Ended up running the MPS reporting tools (which have DCDiag, Netdiag amongst
a pile of other useful reporting tools) for AD and found some weird issues
with the replication and fixed that. Rebooted the DC's and hey presto
problem went away.

Subject: [windows2000] Weird 2003 Server issue
Hey Guys!
We're experiencing a very weird Windows 2003 Server problem here. We have
an IBM HS40 BladeCenter that we just built brand new Windows 2003 Server
images on them. When we try to add a group from the domain the local admin
group, when we hit apply, it wipes out the group name and replaces it with a
SID, and anyone in that group can't log in. They get a message that the
domain controller is down or can't be contacted. The DC's are 2003 Server
as well. We even rebuilt one of the boxes from scratch. Also this is a
separate domain from our primary domain, set up for a lab environment.
Has anyone seen this and/or know what's going on??
Thanks!!
Jennifer
