Active Directory Failure

[Chris Tidswell]

Active Directory will no longer create user/ computer
accounts and when you try to do so it comes up with the
message:

Windows cannot create the object because:
The directory service was unable to allocate a relative
identifier

I believe that this is because the RID Master has reached
its maximum RID Pool Allocation, however I am open to
offers. I have looked at knowledge base article 316201
that covers this but am still not able to rectify my
problem.

If the registry edits in Q316201 don't help, here are some other fixes you
can try:

Windows 2000 and in Windows Server 2003
