Re: Domain Controller - Active Directory errors galore

Hi Andrei,

"Unable to establish connection with global catalog."

This should say all.

And who is SHIRAZ.vineyard.local? Can you connect to this machine? Is it
listening on port 3268? (global catalog)

As I mentioned, I was getting the below errors whilst logged on the DC which
is named SHIRAZ. So the errors are being reported by the DC saying it can't
connect to it's own global catalog. It seems user authentication is OK
because I can log on to the DC but I am getting all of these errors related
to AD. This does not seem to be a network issue. I can connect to this
machine. It also is the primary DNS and DNS is functioning correctly. The DC
is being seen by all other machines and is ping-able.

I have the strangest feeling that something went wrong during one of the
times I connected a Linux box to AD via the "ads connect" command. How, why
and what is wrong has got me stumped!
