Re: The system cannot log you on now because the domain not avail

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

no, not at this point

a quick test:
- boot the machine
- wait 5 minutes (at this point all network should be up and done)
- then login

does it still "sit there" for 20-25 seconds ?

Thanks for the reply,
I have two 2948 Cisco switches installed, but they are not configured.
It's been installed as it is. So there is no way of management unless I
configure them.


The old server was connected to the same switches and would apply
personal
settings after entering username and password but would take long time
because of dns issue.Now with new server once entering the userid and
password it waits for 20-25 seconds and then it starts to apply personal
settings very quick.At first i was getting the domain is unvailable but
that's rectified since enabling 100 MB Full Duplex.

Do you suggest to configure the switches?

Sorry for being a pain

Thanks

However with this server once you bootup and enter the username and
password ,it thinks for 20-25 seconds and then it starts to apply peronsal
setting and your in windowes instantely.

"getting an IP" from the network, and time it takes to get it, might
vary
depending on your network configuration.
Example: if you are using STP on Cisco switches, the cisco switch might
(not
always, just might) take up to 30 seconds to (try to) detect loops in
the
topology. These checks happen on all ports, unless you use the
"portfast"
command. (this detection of loops in the topology is when layer 1 and 2
are
initializing and to establish link, more than likely at boot time !)

if you use cisco, have a look here
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/473/12.html

Obviously this is only one factor... there could be many more.

Edwin I was getting the error message every time I starup the machine,
however the message no longer appears since enabling 100mb full duplex
on
the
network card, but now it sits there for 20-25 seconds and then it
starts
applying personal settings instantely.Seems that when it starts up it
doesn't
get the ip address from the dhcp server fast enough?

If I log off and log on again, it logs me on straight away. This is
occurs
only when you first starup your computer.

I wanna know why there is such delay at startup?

Many Thanks

so, you set your NIC to 100MB and the symptom is gone

except there is a 20 second delay after logon and "Apply Personal
Settings"

just not sure what your question is, so let me ask some :

is your problem the 20 second delay ?
does it occur after a boot ?
does it occur after a logout (no boot) ?

Can someone assist please?
What i tried doing on every machine,is set the nic to 100mb full
duplex.
Now it doesn't come up with The system cannot log you on now
because
the
domain <DOMAIN_NAME> it sits there for 20 seconds and then it
starts
to
apply
personal settings.]

can someone advise me please?

Hi Everyone,
I get The system cannot log you on now because the domain
<DOMAIN_NAME>
is
not available when i try to log onto the the domain

When I get to the stage of entering the username and password it

waits
for
10 seconds and then I get an error message saying that the
domain is
unavailable, however if I wait 20-25 seconds before logging on,
it
logs
me on
straight away

It only occurs when you first boot up the machine ,and If I
enter
the
username and password I get the domain is unavailable but it's
working
fine
the 2nd attempt and logs me onto the domain very quick

I don't know if its dns issue ,but it sounds that the machine
isn't
getting
the ip address from the DHCP server quick enough. What's your
opinion
please?

Is this releated to Cached Logon Count problem?

Thanks
