Dojcha,

Might I suggest that you install the Support Tools on all
of your WIN2000 Servers. The Support Tools are located
in two places: on the WIN2000 Server CD ( in the Support
\ Tools folder ) and on the WIN2000 Service Pack CD (
also in the Support \ Tools folder ). I would suggest
that you use the Service Pack CD if possible.

Installing the Support Tools will give you access to
several very useful tools. I would suggest that you run
dcdiag /v and netdiag /v on all DCs. I would also run
repadmin /showreps on all DCs. Take a look at the
output. There will usually be something that sticks out
like a sore thumb. If you need further help, post the
results in this NG. We will gladly help.

HTH,

Cary
 
RESOLUTION
==========

To resolve this issue, follow these steps:


1. Ping the Domain Controller. To do so, type
"<YourDomainController>.<YourDomain>.com" (without the quotation marks)
at the command prompt, and then press ENTER. If you receive a reply
that the ping request could not find the host, the domain controller's
SRV record is not populated in the DNS Database.

2. Check the configuration of DNS and make sure that Allow
Dynamic Updates is enabled. To do this, follow these steps:


a. Click "Start", point to
"Programs", click "Administrative Tools", and
then click "DNS".

b. Expand the DNS folder.

c. Expand the Forward Lookup Zones folder.

d. Right-click the folder, and then click
"Properties".

e. In the "Allow Dynamic Updates" box,
click "Yes".

f. Click "OK".

g. Stop and then restart DNS.

3. Stop and then restart the Netlogon service on
<YourDomainController>. By doing this, you force the domain controller
to register the appropriate SRV records. The change is then replicated
to DNS.
