Event 1000

[Danka]

Hello:

I am getting the following event:

"Windows cannot obtain the domain controller name for
your computer network (59) event 1000". Server is
configured as a member server. What could cause this
error?

Thanks.

There are many reasons for this error as it is sort of a generic event
number. Most likely a DNS issue. Are you pointing to your internal DNS
server if this is an Active Directory Domain? Have a look at the knowledge
base, http://support.microsoft.com , you will find several articles relating
to this.

A 59 is an "unexpected network error". If you are sure your
network is physically operating OK, then almost certainly
you have a mis-configured firewall or port block somewhere
that is preventing traffic from getting from your member server
to the domain controller and back.

Disable any software firewalls, IP port ACLs, IPSec policies, etc.

This is gernerally a DNS problem. Make sure that all DCs and members of the domain point only at DNS servers that are
hosting the AD domain. Do not point at your ISP for DNS. Make sure that the DNS server has a forward lookup zone that
matches the name of the AD domain and this zone allows dynamic updates.

Thank you,
