user can't logged in to the new 2003 server credit union data process 5/2/2007 9:38:01 PM we have a situation where the windows 2000 server is the main domain controller. We recently just added a new domain controller 2003 but it has no master roles and only the 2000 has that. recently, the 2003 would shutdown all of its services because users can't logged in to the domain. does anyone thinks that this is caused by bad DNS issues or something else. I need a starting point to find out the problem but I dont know where to start. can someone help me?

Bad DNS can cause a lot of problems, however you need to give a better description of your problem. Clarify this please: " recently, the > 2003 would shutdown all of its services because users can't logged in > to the domain. " Did you add the 2003 as an additional Domain controller in an existing domain? Did you have the 2003 server using only the 2000 DC for DNS prior to and during dcpromo? Is DNS installed on the 2003? Did you make the 2003 DC a Global Catalog after dcpromo? The Global catalog role must be manually added, it doesn't happen automatically, EXCEPT for the First DC created in a Forest. Post the ipconfig /all from both DCs and a sample ipconfig /all from a client. -- Best regards, Kevin D.
