Can’t connect to global catalog
LockedHi all,
I have a client running Win2000 server as a domain controller. He has multiple win95 and win98 machines as well as several XP Pro.
Last week he called to complain things were running very slow and that the XP machines could not log on to the server. (The XP are the only ones set up to connect to the domain. The Win95/98 are set up in a workgroup config.)
I checked the server and found that there were multiple errors including one in particular that was disturbing:
“unable to establish connection with global catalog”Another error in the event log:
“Windows cannot access the registry information at \\…. with (53).”I tried to open the Active Directory Site and Services, but got an error message:
“Naming information cannot be located because specified domain does not exist or could not be contacted..”I started poking around and finally found that the Net Logon service was halted. I started it and suddenly all seemed back to normal.
However, when I rebooted, the same situation happened again.
I did check for this error and SP4 was installed, but I cannot figure out what is the cause here.
HELP!!
Nate
