Error: conn. with Global Catalog

by omarhib . Updated 19 years, 11 months ago

i have a Windows 2000 SP4 domain controller which has ISA & DNS installed and running on the same machine…

Today when i opened the AD users and computers it has failed to connect to the domain, it displayed a red cross on the AD snap-in..
When i checked the event viewer for errors, i found the following:

Error: Event ID 1126, Unable to establish a connection with global catalog.

i can display the domain in the AD users and computers by right clicking and Connect to domain controller,
No when i close the ADusers and computers and re-open it the same problem again…

and there is no group policy displayed at any level and cant add or do anything with it…

now if i promote another member server to DC and make it the GC, does it fix the problem?

also i have another DNS server running with Active directory integrated zone on another machine if this might help…

any suggestions to get this problem fixed…

cheers,
