I have a Win2k Domain with a Win2k Pro SP4 wkstn. When logging in to the
domain it takes up to 4 minutes to connect. If I do not login to the domain
and only the local wkstn it happens immediately. The System Event Viewer for
the workstation reports the following: "The session setup to the domain
controller ###### for the domain ##### is not responsive. The current RPC
call from Netlogon on #### to ###### has been cancelled." Event ID is 5783,
source is Netlogon, and category is None. A search of the knowledge base only
returns info for wkstns running Norton anti-virus which we do not use.
 
sounds like DNS...
to what DNS servers are the clients pointing to? internal or ISP?
same question for servers
 
internal DNS servers and DC's. all win2k advanced server. we have over 2500
wkstns and only a select few are having this problem. All DNS info is passed
via DHCP. thanks...
 
no other errors and once logged in all services are normal. what kind of
network trace? can you provide the syntax please? thx...
 
Even so, it sounds like some kind of DNS related issue. When yo doan
nslookup for your domain name (just the domain - no host, like
"company.org") do you resolve to the address of one of your DCs? If so, do
all the "bad" boxes resolve to the same DC?
