Since yesterday afteroon I've expirienced a problem on two domain
controllers, both running Windows 2000 Server SP4 and holding all the
latest fixes. Up to yesterday communication between the two went off
without a hitch.
After adding Microsoft ActiveSync on DC2 (to facilitate connectivity
to an IPaq), it seems it's no longer possible for DC2 to connect to
DC1. It does work the other way around tho. DC2 to DC1 results in the
error, while DC1 to DC2 works without any problems.
The error generated is: Logon Failure: The target account name is
incorrect.
Googling for a solution I've located :
http://www.experts-exchange.com/Operating_Systems/Q_21018430.html
The workaround described (\\IPadress\share instead of \\PCname\share)
works, so I got a workaround. This however doesnt solve the problem
yet..
Renaming the offending PC (according to
http://www.computing.net/windows2000/wwwboard/forum/58467.html)
wouldn't work, seeing you cannot rename a Domain Controller that
easily.
I've checked the NetBIOS settings and they should be correct. I also
reapplied SP4 on both machines to eliminate any possibility of file
corruption somewhere. Pinging between machines (on both IP address and
name) works like a charm. All regular network/internet traffic seems
to work 100% aswell.
From the network the workstations can communicate with one another and
both DC1 and DC2 without any problems.
My guess is that on DC2 something changed that is causing the problem,
and the Microsoft ActiveSync (3..7.1) might be the cause of it. I
tried deinstalling it, but this did not solve the problem.
If anyone has any thoughts that might help in placing a solution with
this issue, I'd appreciate hearing from them.
Thanks in advance for any and all responses. .
