SYMPTOMS

When you use the USRTOGRP utility from the Windows NT Resource Kit, Event ID
2453 appears in the Event Viewer. The description of the system event is:

  Could not find a domain controller for this domain.

CAUSE
=====

This problem occurs if you use tabs as delimiters between parameters in your
USRTOGRP data file. For example:
