new users can't login

[stephen.mcgahan]

HI folks

I am wondering if anyone can help me out.

I am running a windows 2000 domain with mostly win 2k professional
clients and a few xp clients as well.

My problem is that new users simply can't login. They get the message
which suggests that their password is incorrect, resetting their
password in active directory doesn't make a difference

I have two domain controllers and I have noticed from the directory
service event logs on of the domain controllers that eventid 1083
source ntds replication warning has happened a couple of times, this
doesn't appear in the other domain controllers logs

Has anyone any idea what is causing this and how to resolve it ?

Any help is most appreciated

Thanks in advance

Was a domain controller accidentally removed or did one fail beyond the
ability to bring it back online? If so, was it properly purged out of AD
using the Metadata Cleanup procedure?

Among other things, this is one issue. Here is more valuable pertinent

I have no idea what caused this, rebooting the server when everyone
went home sorted out the problem, whatever it was, most strange!!

Hi,

I would keep an eye on your domain controllers for any replication
issues that might occur.
Maybe the 1083 have stopped as you rebooted a domain controller but
that would not indicte that the issue is fixed unless we do not receive
anymore errors
FRS, because of the reboot initiated but failed soon afterwards.
Hope things are fine but on the safe side, keep an eye out on the other
DC's

Hmm. I suggest to go thru the Metadata cleanup steps just to "see" what
ntdsutil tells you what is out there. Don't change anything, just look.
