Run netdiag from all DCs that are having DNS resolution problems, if the DC
is a GC it will test to see if the GC records are registered. If there are
any fails in the DNS test run netdiag /test:dns /v and post the results.

NetDiag is OS dependant The one that comes with Win2k runs only on all Win2k
(Server and Pro) The one that comes with XP runs only on XP, and IIRC, the
one that comes with Win2k3 runs only on Win2k3.
