Windows Cannot obtain the domain controller name for your computer network.

by miketkelly . Updated 16 years, 7 months ago

I’ve been having a problem with one of my client computers. Every time the computer logs onto the domain this error is logged.
============================
Event ID: 1054
Source: Userenv
User: NT AUTHORITY/SYSTEM
Description:
Windows Cannot obtain the domain controller name for your computer network. (An unexpected network error occurred.) Group Policy processing aborted
============================

on the domain controller I get two entries into the security log with the user being the client computer name

first this one-
Event ID: 540
Source: Security
Category: Log on / Log off
Successful Network Log on:
username: (client computer name)
logon type: 3
Logon Process: Kerberos
Authentication Package: Kerberos

the second one is rather long but the category is Directory Service Access

If anyone could help me get through this that would be fantastic and your help would be greatly appreciated.
