Logon to the domain failure

Guest

Hi
I've got the following trouble:
when WinXPPro workstation logons to the domain I can see error in system log

'No Domain Controller is available for domain MyDomain due to the following:
There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request.
..
Make sure that the computer is connected to the network and try again. If
the problem persists, please contact your domain administrator.'

In application log
'Windows cannot obtain the domain controller name for your computer network.
(The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted. ).
Group Policy processing aborted.'

The workstation doesn't process any Group Policy, doesn't synchronize time
etc...
It seems to be a DNS problem but we are using DHCP and two hundred
workstations don't have this problem. they are using same IP configuration.
I can't understand what I have to do with this PC

Thank you for the help.

Run ipconfig /all on this PC and compare it to ipconfig /all on one of the
ones that works. What DNS servers do you have?

quoted from http://www.ChicagoTech.net
Event ID 5719 - The system cannot log you on now because the domain "name"
is not available."
Symptoms: when attempting to logon a domain, you keep getting an error that
"The system cannot log you on now because the domain "name" is not
available." Also, Event viewer shows Event ID: 5719. No Windows NT or
Windows 2000 Domain Controller is available for domain <domain name>. The
following error occurred: There are currently no logon servers available to
service the logon request.

Resolutions: One possible cause of this error is that you have run out of
buffer space in the NetBT datagram buffer. To resolve this problem, increase
the MaxDgramBuffering value from 128 KB to 256 KB. Run Regedt32.exe, go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NetBT\Parameters. On
the Edit menu, click Add Value, and then add the following information:

Value Name: MaxDgramBuffering
Data Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 0x40000

stick to the basics.

as was stated check your IP config, ensure that the IP address and subnet
mask matches other systems within the same network, same DNS settings etc..
make sure you can ping the SERVER's IP as well.

once you check connectivity then you can start hacking register entries if
you like...
I dont recommend it for you, I think after you have established connectivity
to the server via IP, (ping) etc..

remove and readd your computer to the domain(assuming you have admin
privilages, if not then this is a NYP, (not your problem) and give the system
to the system administrator :)

otherwise
you remove your computer from the domain (control panel-system-computer
name-> change to workgroup and reboot) once you have rebooted go back to the
computer name tab and select domain, enter the netbios name for your domain
and apply, it will request your userid/password (make sure you use one with
administrative privilages on the domain) reboot... at the end of the
prompting :)

goodluck.
