Re: MSExchangeDSAccess, event 2114

Have you (or someone else) recently changed Security settings, applied any
security patches or any other security tools?

Have you looked in Active Directory for any disabled computer or user
accounts? Is you Exchange server running ON your DC? Which account are you
logging on with?

What it looks like to me is that the computer can't access Active Directory
to determine which Group Policy to apply. I still think this could be a DNS
problem. Did you make any changes at all prior to this happening? Can you
run DCDiag at the command prompt and post back with any errors that it logs?

Also, follow the steps in this article and see if you find anything.
