Incomplete domain user listing on 2000 server

When attempting to add user level permissions on a share
many users are simply not listed when browsing the domain
list. The local domain controller to these servers has
these accounts in user manager. All other DCs also have
these accounts in user manager. 4 of 5 2000 servers at a
remote office do _not_ display at least a dozen users when
browsing the domain user listing (I stopped counting at
the "E"s). There are 400+ users in our domain. We do not
use Active Directory.

Any ideas? Thanks!
 
In Support Tools (on the Win2000 Server CD-ROM) or in NT4
Resource Kit is a program called NLTest.exe -- it is a real pain
to get NLTest syntax correct, so dump the help to a text file for reference:

nltest /? > nltest.txt

It can show you which DC these servers are using (run it
on each one) and thereby where they are getting their domain
info on users and groups.

The following should work:
nltest /sc_query:learnquick.com

Also note the environment setting for logon server (comparison purposes
or if NLTest fails):

set LogonServer

Should generally show same server as NLTest does.
