The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Microsoft, Windows Standard 2003, \\obt is not accessible. you might not have permission to use this network resource.

Hi Experts,
I have been looking for 2 days trying to figure out this problem.
it started with my service provider changing our static IP for no reason , so I had to modify the dns ( on my DC windows 2003) to point to the new forwarders, so of course an easy way was to point the preferred DNS server on my network card to the router. which worked fine, then I recently switch back the DNS on the network card back to its own ip and I updated the forwarder again. Anyway, here is the problem: I logged off from a workstation and I couldn't log back in even with administrator password. I could only log into the local computer. so I changed the domain to a workgroup. delete the computer from active directory and rejoin the domain, then I was able to log back in but for some reason when I type \\obt ( the name of my server domain ) it give me the error below , but if I type the IP of my server. it works fine. I went to another workstation and same things , so I had to rejon the domain for all workstation and now then can only access the server from the IP . how can I fix this annoying problem.
Thanks.

David
