I think we are looking in the wrong direction though, as the message in Windows Firewall (control panel) is that it is using hte Standard i.e. off Domain settings. That's the reason the firewall is still coming on and the direction I need to look in. However I've taken the PC off the domain and rejoined it, with no difference. Also it's appeared on two other PCs now. One thing I noticed is that when I log into the SBS2003 DC it is saying hte max number of licenses has been exceeded - 45 installed max usage 49. I've searched abuot this and while a few people say it can cause issues (but they don't say what) I am wondering if this is the cause - the DC not letting the user/pc join the domain, even though in actual fact they do? NO, I have a SBS network over their licence count with no issues!	SolMiester (139)

1197886	2011-05-09 00:06:00	How were these PCs put on the SBS domain? Did you run the wizard via servername	CYaBro (73)
1197887	2011-05-09 00:18:00	I didnt on mine, I join a domain from computername in system icon!	SolMiester (139)
1197888	2011-05-09 00:38:00	I didnt on mine, I join a domain from computername in system icon! On an SBS domain I've had a few strange issues when I have done it that way so always now make sure that the connect computer wizard is used. The reason is because it does more than just put the computer on the domain.	CYaBro (73)
1197889	2011-05-09 01:06:00	Hey CYB No - well I expect they were just joined 'normally', it was way before I got here. But I'll remove it from the domain and rejoin using servername Will let you know how I get on, thanks for the suggestion.	FAB (6923)
