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,
