i have enabled ADS on win2k Server. this is first ever win2k Domain Controller.
after enabling ADS i created a new User called veronica. i got the following error message after creating a user.

" Windows cannot validate the uniqness of this proposed user name with global cataloge server because the server is not operational.

Windows will create this User account but the user can log in only after the user name is verified to be unique, for further assistance, contact your system administrator"

what is causing this & how do i enable global cataloge ??

The first domain controller in your domain is by default, the global catalog server. Checked the different logs in the event viewer to see if you get any error message regarding the global catalog server. If not, try demoting the DC and promoting it back.

good luck,
