Configuration information could not be read from the domain controller

[vineet]

hi

I have recently installed Windows Server 2003 as a domain controller.
It is the first (and only) DC in the forest. I'm logging into one of
my client computers (Windows XP Pro) and trying to map a drive to a
share on the domain controller. The client computer has successfully
joined the domain and I have logged into the domain.

The domain is affordable

From the client computer, I issue the following commands:

C:\>ping affordable

Configuration information could not be read from the domain controller,
either
because the machine is unavailable, or access has been denied.


C:\>net use x: \\192.168.0.200\common
The command completed successfully.



What is going on? Why can I map a network drive using the IP address,
but not the DNS name? Yes, DNS resolution is working (see the ping
command).

I am getting same msg in while I tries

\\affordable\netlogon

Plz help me to resolve the problem asap

Thanks

Are you usuing MULTIPLE NAMES for 192.168.0.200,
such as CNAMES?

That doesn't work -- by default.

Obviously you can resolve "affordable" to the IP, and
you can connect to a share by IP.

Search Microsoft site for details on the following keys:

HKLM\System\CurrenControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters

add String value "OptionalNames" the value must be your 2nd netbios

name (Alias)

HKLM\System\CurrenControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters

add Dword value "DisableStrictNameChecking" the value must be

REG_DWORD=1


Google:

[ OptionalNames DisableStrictNameChecking site:microsoft.com ]

What is going on? Why can I map a network drive using the IP address,
but not the DNS name? Yes, DNS resolution is working (see the ping
command).

I am getting same msg in while I tries

\\affordable\netlogon

No, ping doesn't prove that DNS is working; at least not the ping you used.
Try pinging the FQDN of the server and see what you get.

No, ping doesn't prove that DNS is working; at least not the ping you
used. Try pinging the FQDN of the server and see what you get.

While technically correct that this ping doesn't prove
DNS works, it does prove that the name resolves to
the (expected?) address 192.168.0.200.

In some ways it's more relevant to the next test which
fails:

But since this one works:

It seems likely that he is trying to use multiple names
for an SMB resource.
