CHi.
I'm using the Windows Vista RC1 at home and at work, to give experience in
this two environment. At home, I'm using the 64 bits, with no problems. At
work, I'm using the 32 bits. Until I put my computer in the domain, the
network was working normally. After this, when I restarted the computer, the
network (all: wired, wireless, by modem...) does not work and the tray bar
icon shows the message "Connection Status: unknown - The dependency service
or group failed to start". When I look in the "Services", the service
"Diagnostic Police Service" was not started and when I try to start it, the
follow message is showed: "Windows could not start the Diagnostic Police
Service on Local Computer - Error 5: Access is denied". I had retired my
computer from the domain, but the network connection is still unavailable.

What should I do?

Thanks for all.

I have the exact same issue when trying to connect multiple vista
business machines to a 2000 domain. as soon as I join the machine I
cannot get to any computer on the network. All of the services fail to
start such as DHCP etc etc. when I try to connect I get a message
connection status unknown. The dependency service or group failed to
start.

Hey guys--any luck dealing with this? I'm having the exact same problem
and have no "Non-XP" restore points to go back to so I'm really stuck...


Desperately hoping for a reply..

I figured out my issue. It was related to my 2000 default domain group
policy settings that were getting applied when joining the machine to a
domain. Add the machine to an OU with block group policy enabled. And
create a special policy and apply it to the vista machines with
minimal settings. Vista does not like policy changes that mess with
security settings at all.

I am having the same issue. Vista will not see my 2000 pc. What do I have to
do?
