RE: CAN'T CONNECT TO AD (VERY URGENT!!)

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

I would also do a ipconfig /flushdns and ipconfig /registerdns

Clear your ARP cache too

IP Address settings

You rebooted a machine and no THAT machine can no longer log on to the
domain? Right

No changes where made to the machine? Right

So the machine is setting at the logon window? right?

There were no config changes this happned on2 servers and one wasn't even
rebooted this morning. Would a windows update help? Or is there another way
to fix the active directory.

"Russ Allen" wrote:

is it syas log or is it sys log? Have you booted from a CD to use the
recovery console (unless you have it installed already)? Did you try last
know good config? It sounds like you made some changes and rebooted after
that and have not been able to log on?
