I don't know the answer, but I ran a quick google search and found
similar info. If the info below doesn't help, I'd suggest you post to the appropriate Windows networking group for further help... ************************* When adding or searching for a printer receiving message "The directory service is currently unavailable". Running Windows 2000. Only happening on machines that were reinstalled. Any help would be greatly appreciated.... Usually a DNS lookup problem. Make sure on any machines (DCs. member servers, current machines and the ones you reinstalled) ONLY use the internal DNS server since that is where clients will "LOOK" for AD stuff. If you are using your ISP's DNS in any machines IP properties, then this can cause this problem, among numerous other problems. ************************* Dian D.
