I have a single DC in a small enviornment and DNS is
running on a seperate 2000 Server.

Here is the issue:

When ever I go an change a users account info, let's say I
rename an account or force a password change I always get
the following message. " A Global Catalog cannot be
located to verify that the user logon name does not
already exist in the Enterprise"

I made sure that the NTDS settings had the Global Catalog
check mark box selected and there are no errors generated
in the even viewer.

Any ideas?

1. Did you reboot the GC machine after checking the checkbox?
2. You said you have one server but the DNS runs on another machine? ...how
is the DNS interacting with AD then? ...are dynamic updates allowed?
 
Yes and Yes

I don't get it!
