domain problem.I have a windows 2003Std dc running ad and dns supporting about 20 users running winXP pro and am having severe issues when it comesx to user logons. When i tried to logon to the server from a client pc the logon seemed to take forever and when it did eventually logon an error popped up saying that they couldnt access there desktop(stored on the server as a roaming profile(server\profiles) and folder redirection(server\Users). This has been working perfectly for about 2 years now and has just suddenly stopped working. I have checked dns on the server and all is well, the clients have the server set as there primary dns server. I am able to logon to the domain at the server and also connect to the internet at the server but cannot do either at the client Pc`s. I have run dcdiag and netdiag and there are no errors. I can ping the server by IP address and name from the client pc`s and can also connect to the administrative share (c$) on the server from the clients. Don`t know what else to try so am looking to the experts for help. Thanks in advance Gareth You may want to check the group policy. First use gpresult to see which
group policy apply the computer. -- Show quoteHide quoteBob Lin, MS-MVP, MCSE & CNE Networking, Internet, Routing, VPN Troubleshooting on http://www.ChicagoTech.net How to Setup Windows, Network, VPN & Remote Access on http://www.HowToNetworking.com "Gazza" <Ga***@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:8515CAE3-A019-4EB0-9928-E821FB56588E@microsoft.com... >I hope someone can help with a strange problem. > > I have a windows 2003Std dc running ad and dns supporting about 20 users > running winXP pro and am having severe issues when it comesx to user > logons. > > When i tried to logon to the server from a client pc the logon seemed to > take forever and when it did eventually logon an error popped up saying > that > they couldnt access there desktop(stored on the server as a roaming > profile(server\profiles) and folder redirection(server\Users). > > This has been working perfectly for about 2 years now and has just > suddenly > stopped working. > > I have checked dns on the server and all is well, the clients have the > server set as there primary dns server. > > I am able to logon to the domain at the server and also connect to the > internet at the server but cannot do either at the client Pc`s. > > I have run dcdiag and netdiag and there are no errors. > > I can ping the server by IP address and name from the client pc`s and can > also connect to the administrative share (c$) on the server from the > clients. > > Don`t know what else to try so am looking to the experts for help. > > Thanks in advance > Gareth Thanks for the reply robert ill have to check that out on monday.
The other thing i forgot to put in the first post was the error message i get if i try to add a client to the domain. The Server cannot carry out the request(Something along those lines am not at work now to check it sorry) And also the computer that im joining shows up in the computers container but is disabled and it doesnt seem to be joined at the client side(no domain list at logon screen. Thanks again Gareth any errors if running nslookup?

I note that you've mentioned "primary" DNS server - this indicates you've got DNS configuration problems. Your internal DNS server should be the *only* one the clients (pr server itself) specifies. No public IPs should be present in an ipconfig /all from a server or workstation. You will have a slew of unpredictable problems with AD if your DNS isn't set up properly. Thanks for the reply lanwench ill post the ipconfig tommorow(monday).
The dns server on all the workstations and the server is set to 192.168.0.149 which is the static ip address of the server. This configuration has been working fine for about 2 years with no logon problems and access to the internet from all workstations. There has been no configuration changes since about two weeks ago when a vpn was set up from a branch office to the main office but this is all working fine. It was only friday that it went pear shaped and all the problems started. If i give a workstation the routers ip address for the secondary dns server then i can access the internet but still cannot logon to the domain or join a pc to the domain.

Thanks for all the help Lanwench
Which firewall would you recommend? The windows firewall has served me well until this weekend and still dont know why it has stopped letting the workstations connect to the server. The dhcp on the router is a bit of a problem as i dont have access to the router and i cant really change anything because it also serves our database server.(not sure if i can run dhcp on the server without it affecting anything else) Removed the secondary ip address from the workstaion.
