I ran netdiag (everything was fine) Then I ran gpresult on the problem
server and also on another server in the domain that is not having the
problem. The only difference I see is between the gpresults is:
Server that isn't receiving properly
The computer received "Security" settings from these GPOs:
Local Group Policy
Revision Number: 27
Unique Name: Local Group Policy
Domain Name:
Linked to: Local computer
Default Domain Policy
Revision Number: 311
Unique Name: {31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9}
Domain Name: DOM.FB
Linked to: Domain (DC=DOM,DC=FB)
Win2KBaseline
Revision Number: 206
Unique Name: {33EA3AD8-3435-448E-868F-9043840DBC7B}
Domain Name: DOM.FB
Linked to: Organizational Unit (OU=CENTRAL,DC=DOM,DC=FB)

Does the problem have to do with the extra setting (Revision number
27)?
