When updating group policy, user update ok, but machine policy failed.


When running gpupdate, I received this error

User Policy update has completed successfully. 

 Computer policy could not be updated successfully. 
The following errors were encountered: The processing of Group Policy failed. 
Windows could not authenticate to the Active Directory service on a domain controller. (LDAP Bind function call failed). Look in the details tab for error code and description.

Turns out, I had an old hosts entry.  Removing the host entry fixed the problem.

Javascript Form Validation

It's real simple. All you need to do is call a javascript function in a html  " onsubmit " in the form tag as a javascript return, like this       <form method="post" action="dosomething.php" onsubmit="return validateForm();"> If the code completes ok, the form is then sent to the page listed in "action" http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_form_validation.asp If the function specified in the onsubmit returns false, then the form is not sent to the page mentioned in action.
