Hi. I have been getting the followin error in my System events for the past few days. I've been all over Microsoft's site trying to resolve it, but they don't even acknowledge that they HAVE an event with this ID tag. Have any of you out there run across this?

Event ID 5783
The session setup to the Windows NT or Windows 2000 Domain Controller \\DOMCON1 for the domain RAR is not responsive. The current RPC call from NetLogon on \\COPPERFIELD to \\DOMCON1 has been cancelled.

COPPERFIELD is a Windows 2000 Server with SP3 installed. DOMCON1 is running NT 4.0 with SP6 and is our PDC. There are no error messages showing up in it's logs.

I'd like to find out what is causing this error. If anyone out there can help point me in the correct direction I would appreciate it.

I looke. There's only the same explanation of 5783 that everyone else has. What it is but not what to do about it.

Boy, there is NOTHING on this event id, is there! No recommended fixes, nothing.
This event just doesn't exist!
There are a lot of people out there with this same problem, but no one has an answer.

Well, I am gonna suggest that you upgrade this Windows box to be a Domain Controller. Run DCPROMO on it.
This, of course, will only work if you already run a Win2K domain (with Active Directory running and all Win2K Domain Controllers).
Try and run DCPROMO on this machine. Make sure this boxhas the correct DNS entries (pointing to your other Win2K DNS server which probably is running Active Directory).

Hope this helps

I thought of that, but that's a last resort. It's my main production application box that's running way too much to become a domain controller.

Just an idea - but use the NETDOM utility to reset the computer account password for DOMCON1 server in AD and then allow replication to take place - then reboot the DOMCON1 server.
