Not able to logon
LockedHere is our setup
Windows 2000 AD domain – 2 Domain controllers
A. 1 forest – 1 domain
B. Domain in ‘mixed mode’ with 3-NT4 BDC’s
C. 350 workstations – NT4 and Win 2000 Pro
D. Problem – most (but not all) of our NT4 workstations can logonto the
domain
This has been an on-going issue for several weeks with very few
workstations. To resolve this issue, we used the LMHOSTS file to point the
workstation to the PDC emulator. However, now there is a major problem and
the LMHOSTS file will not resolve the issue.
E. Error at logon….”System cannot log you on to the domain because the
systems computer account in its primary domain is missing or the password on
that account is incorrect.”
F. We have removed the workstations from the domain multiple times, and then
rejoined. There is no problem to join the domain and upon reboot and logon,
we receive the exact same message.
G. all domain controllers are synchronizedAdditional information on the workstations….. For the following, we have tried multiple combination of settings.
1. LMHOSTS file which points to the PDC
2. HOSTS file pointing to the domain
3. WINS is correct
4. WINS database has correct entriesError logs and test results
5. At netlogon receive event log error
EVENT ID: 3210
(have tried KB article 259736 and setting is already there)
