    Hello All, 

    Here is my scenario:

    Running Windows Server 2008 R2.  When I try to edit group policy to create a GPO for RDS I get "Network Name Cannot be Found" 

    I'm not sure if this is a result of

    1.) PLESK being installed recently

    2.) That my Name Servers are messing this up.  I have a web site on this server (the only one) for my clients to access called "e-precinct.com" and consequently, the name server is the same name and the full computer name is server1.e-precinct.com and the domain is e-precinct.com 

    I'm getting failures when I run dcdiag..

    What I'm seeing is the DNS is looping back to itself and should be 184.173.31.163 ? 

    Any help would be appreciated...

    Okay, I solved this...

    Installing PLESK Control panel overrode the DNS zone set by AD.  So, it's fixed, I just have to rebuild the SYSVOL tree and it's contents in the domain.
