lol . . . yes, RTFM . . . yes, I should (and am now) reading the wiki.
What was that I posted once . . "Teach someone to fish and they can feed

Their troubleshooting page indicated that most issues are connected to DNS issues between machines. Did some 'nslookup' from each DC to the member and vise versa. DNS returns correct results. Looked to confirm I do NOT have a firewall running on any device. Not at this time. Member server time keeps drifting and I need to correct this.
