I know that this stuff can be frustrating, but it is also frustrating
when someone posts without making it easy for developers to find the
info you are referring to. Since it does not show up in gmail in this
thread, it is not easy for me to find and is probably not easy for
those who would work on this problem to find.

Perhaps you could drop links into a reply.

Have you enabled level 10 logging on the DC? What do the logs show?
