Re: Domain Controller Down

Check your Event Viewer on the SBS 2003 server and pc to see if there any errors or warnings related to this issue. In addition, check their SBS licensing to insure they are not exceeding there license count.

This, to me, is pretty odd and I have no clue what is going on..

I am working with a client who has SBS 2000, today, a user attempted to log
on and got an error that the domain controller was down. Other users could
connect fine. The network connection appeared to be OK. After several hours
of poking around, I came up empty. I rebooted the server, and now a second
user is having a similar problem. Can't logon, locally, or on the network.

Then, by chance, I unglugged the network cable from the PC, and was able to
logon, then plugged the network cable back in and all was good with the
world. After seeing this work, I tried the same thing on the second PC, but
this one would still not logon. When I rebooted the first one, same issue.
If I unplug the network cable, then logon, then plug it back in, it seems to
work, but not every time.

I am sure this is indicative of something and hope that someone can
enlighten me.

Thanks for the help
