Re: How to start IsmServ?

Hello,

Lately I'm getting errors in the eventlog of the Directory Service.
The message suggested to run DCDIAG. I did and the result was that
the service ISMSERV stopped on both the PDC and the BDC.

What does this mean and how can I correct this? I could not find any
answers I could understand.

Any other errors in the event logs?
Is the time sync between servers (and clients) working perfectly?
Did you run netdiag, too?


Our system is (was) running smoothly for over a year now.

1 SBS 2003 SP1 server, 1 Windows 2003 member server as a BDC,

Minor terminology correction - it can be a member server, or it can be a DC,
but not both (and there's no such thing as a PDC/BDC in Active Directory;
all DCs are peers).

15
clients XP Pro SP2

Many thanks in advance.

Dieter
