Re: Userenv Event ID: 1054 - Userenv.log DSGetDCName failed with 5

Hello Meinolf,

Here is the solution:
"The Windows method for locating a domain controller is that the workstation
checks connectivity with the DC it first uses a normal icmp ping. If the
normal ping succeeds it then tests the connection speed with an oversized
ping. Specifically the size is 2048k* which puts the total packet size over
2k due to headers. This isn't a problem when you are on a local network with
nothing between you and the DC but a switch. Our VPN is operated by a Vigor
2930 Router. The Router denies
oversized icmp traffic (Ping of Death) by default. Because of this behavior
workstations at remote sites succeed with the first normal ping but
fail on the oversized one. That causes the following error to show up
in the workstation's event log.

Windows cannot obtain the domain controller name for your computer
network. Return value (59).


We have deactivated this feature on our routers. And all is fine! :-))


Another solution i found in the www would be: (by own risk!!)
Its really easy to find solutions if you know the whole problem! :-))
********************************************************
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System]
"GroupPolicyMinTransferRate"=dword:00000000

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System]
"GroupPolicyMinTransferRate"=dword:00000000

These keys tell the workstation to not test the speed of the connection
with the DC. This setting is also available in group-policy; however,
the computers must first have the setting to download the group-policy!

Bye and thank you

Hello Herbert,

Start with dcdiag /v and netdiag /v and replmon to check on all DC's for
errors and if you have some, solve them. Then check that Active directory
sites and services is configured and the DC's for the sites are placed correct.
If this is fine and working go on with the clients.


Best regards

Hello,

we have got a urgent problem:

Our environment: a W2K Domain with W2K DCs at our Site in munich (With
2 DCs) and several sites connected over vpn (DSL 16000) with their own
DC and subnet. Our Clients are Windows XP SP2!

Our Problem at the XP-Clients in the remote subnet is that they don't
apply the current GPO and start a cached GPO with an old Loginscript.
the Registry Key in the GPO-Hive shows the old DC (Depromoted with
DCPromo)!

Eventlog:
Event ID: 1054
Source: Userenv
Type: Error
Description:
Windows cannot obtain the domain controller name for your computer
network.

contacted). Group

USERENV(1b8.4d0) 09:31:20:280 ProcessGPOs: Processing failed with
error 59.
My Tests:

- ReAdd the computer to the domain in the remote subnet
- ipconfig show correctly DNS and IP-Settings at the clients in the
remote
subnet
- nslookup correctly show the dc's from the central site
- I can access \\domain\sysvol share and can start the Logon.vbs
manually
and correct
- nslist.exe show the DC's from central site
- A Notebook which do not have any problems in the central site, i
have
moved manually to the remote subnet and had the same Problem with the
GPO.
So it could not be a client Problem.
There must be DNS misconfiguration. But where and how could i test
further?
The Problem is since following Scenario:

We uninstalled some DC's (DCPROMO) in our remote subnets and
reassigned the remote Subnet to our main site in munich and clean our
AD and DNS Settings from the old DCs and sites. We installed DHCP
Relay Agents at our Vigor 2900 VPN Routers in the remote subnet. The
clients are connected directly over VPN to our central site in munich
and logon over the DSL Connection and use the DNS and WINS from the
central site.

After that we had to set the following Registry Key at the clients in
the remote Subnet because they can't login because problem below:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\
Kerberos\Parameters\MaxPacketSize = 0

No Windows NT or Windows 2000 Domain Controller is available for
domain Domain. The following error occurred:

There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon
request. ********************************************************

After this configuration all seems well until i had seen the
GPO-Problem and the LoginScript did not start correctly.

Any Ideas??

Thank you

Herbert
