Thanks Rob. I did that last night, and everything worked just fine.

It's funny you say that. I learned that when I was setting up a new
computer last night and wanted to add a domain user to the local admins
group. It wouldn't let me enter "net localgroup administrators
domain\user /add." I didn't understand why at first. I thought that
until I figured out the DNS thing I could just use mydomain.com in the
hosts file and everything would be fine. Nope! Switched the computer
to use the DC for DNS, and I was able to add the user.
Thanks Rob,
Ray at work
