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.

NMAP

It's been about 15 years since I used NMAP, I forgot how useful the tool is. To find out what services are running on an IP address simply use something like nmap -n -v -p1-10000 x.x.x.x -n tells nmap not to do name resolution (saves about 13 seconds if the IP you're scanning isn't in DNS_ -v verbose -p1-10000 says scan ports 1 to 10,000 (otherwise nmap will only scan the first 1000 ports)
