Post subject: Domain controller not found
Archived from groups: microsoft>public>windows>server>setup (more info?)

From an XP pro system, all the latest updates installed, the system event
log records a netlogon error:

"No Domain Controller is available for domain SIENA due to the following:
There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request.
.. "

Yet, I can access the DC's shares and certainly ping it. But, it takes
several minutes to get a functional desktop upon startup. Also, I can get
sudden denial of access errors out of the blue and lose connection,
apparently. Then I get "log in as" boxes popping up which do not accept
even my domain admin login. Also, my system has taken to a 20 second delay
to come back when it's "locked". It used to come up instantly. Finally,
accessing files on the file server/DC is very sluggish. I have to wait a few
seconds for explorer to refresh itself everytime I click on a file, change a
name, click on a folder, etc. It's maddening.

I have a fairly fresh install of SBS2003 and there are no apps installed on
the server. It shows no errors in its event log. My local net stats are (the
server has the 192.168.1.10 address):

Hello Jim,

Did you run dcdiag and netdiag on the DC? Also post an ipconfig /all from
the DC/DNS server.

Best regards

dcdiag complains only of the fact that the time service is stopped and not
advertising.
As for netdiag, there are these two problems only:

NetBT name test. . . . . . : Passed
[WARNING] At least one of the <00> 'WorkStation Service', <03> 'Messenger
Service', <20> 'WINS' names is missing.
NetBT name test. . . . . . . . . . : Passed
[WARNING] You don't have a single interface with the <00> 'WorkStation

And here is the DC's ipconfig:

Hello Jim,

What is the 192.168.0.1 for a machine? It is a different network address
and can cause your problems.

That is a DSL modem, on the other side of the gateway, which is supposed to
forward to an external DNS if 192.168.1.10 is unable to fulfill the request.
What is the ideal setting for the secondary DNS? What would this have to do
with finding the DC?

Hello Jim,

You have to configure a forwarder to your ISP's DNS server on the DNS server
properties in the DNS management console. Here you find a tab called "Forwarders".
If it is greyed out inside just remove the .zone in DNS, close the DNS console
and reopen it. Then you can add the ISP's DNS server, not your router ip
address. It should be an external internet ip address.
So all internal request from the machines go to your inside DNS server, if
that can't provide the information it will forward the request to the ISP's
DNS server and get theire the answer.
Remove the modem ip address and your internal errors should go away. But
you also be aible to browse the internet.



Best regards

Well, the external DNS is already set up in the forwarders tab. I rechecked
the IP's, and they are what the DSL modem is using.

Another symptom: now my XP machine is taking 30 to 60 seconds just to open
programs. But, when I'm off the net, they come right up, as does the
desktop.

Hello Jim,

Is the first problem solved? Other wise lets go on with that. Did you remove
the entry from DNS settings?

Thanks for getting back to me!

The modem IP was not in the forwarders list. Only two DNS's that belong to
QWest.

The 192.168.0.1 ip was in the network card TCP/IP properties as the
secondary DNS. I changed that to 192.168.1.4 which is the gateway. Unless I
should just leave it blank.

Here are the startup errors now on the XP workstation, which takes, again,
about 5 minutes to get a functional desktop:

Windows cannot determine the user or computer name. (The specified domain
either does not exist or could not be contacted. ). Group Policy processing
aborted.

Automatic certificate enrollment for local system failed to contact the
active directory (0x8007054b). The specified domain either does not exist
or could not be contacted.

The PrintQueue Container could not be found because the DNS Domain name
could not be retrieved. Error: 54b

The NIC should only point to your INTERNAL DNS server, that's all.

This will depend on the ip address from the router, remove it like i wrote
before. DNS settings should only point to the internal DNS. In the moment
the computer tries to find the domain also outside your network, what will
not work.

Okay, I have only the DC given out as a DNS. But, I am getting the same
error messages on startup.

But, with the DHCP server giving out only the DC as the DNS, my browser
cannot resolve DNS requests. So either the DNS on the server is not
forwarding or something.

Hello Jim,

Coming back to the ip settings. Your workstations and server works with ip's
like 192.168.1.4 192.168.1.10 192.168.1.102

The router (Default gateway) ip 192.168.0.1

And you specify also 192.168.1.4 as a default gateway. Can you give some
more info about the network setup please. You can not work with two default
gateways in one network that have different ip ranges.


Best regards

Meinolf Weber

1.4 is the only default gateway/router. It's WAN port is hooked up to the
DSL modem and it gets it's external IP and DNS info from the modem. But all
that should be transparent to the office network, and it has worked fine for
quite some time. It just seems that the DNS and/or Active Directory services
have been slowly degrading.

Again, the forwarders on the DC's DNS properties are the external ones QWest
uses for the DSL connection.

Thanks again,
Jim

Hello Jim,

So the 192.168.0.1 is not longer used on any server or workstation?

Best regards

No, the gateway/router is the only device that "knows" that IP.
