Windows2003 Server Domain not available

[Hubert Rétif]

Hi,

I have configured a Windows 2003 Server as Domain controller (OBAG.local).

To test it, I have declared my XP Pro machine to this Domain. Was OK and the
domain has been recognized.

I have rebooted my XP machine and tried to login with an account created on
the server, but I receive the error message that it can't login because the
domain is not available.

Did I forgot something?

Thanks,
Hubert.

Do you have a DNS server running on the domain controller? Is your
workstation set to use the DNS server on the domain controller?

You are probably right. This could be missing... Thanks

When you promoted the server to a DC it should have installed the DNS
server. Probably all you have to do is point the workstation to the server
for DNS.
