When I try to login to the domain, I receive a message that the domain is not available. I have configured my user account and permissions accordingly. This is a problem that has been observed by others at our firm. It takes multiple domain is not attempts to finally have the server accept your login. Does anyone have any ideas about how to troubleshoot this? Should I look at the DNS or the AD Settings?

As a first step, check the server and then check the clients. The server should be using itself only for DNS and the clients should be using the server only for DNS. Check that the server is registered in DNS with it's internal ip address. share|improve this answer answered Aug 2 '10 at 18:18 joeqwerty 83.5k246121 Thanks, it was a combination of DNS and DHCP. The DHCP wasn't working, so the computers didn't know where the DNS server was. –SLY Oct 19 '10 at 15:22 I had the problem because SBS 2003 only allows 1 DHCP server on a network, and my router was acting as a DHCP server, so the DHCP service would not start on my SBS 2003 server. –SLY Oct 19 '10 at 15:23 Glad to hear that you got it worked out. –joeqwerty Oct 19 '10 at 16

Can't even being to think how that happened by accident. Usually someone does it.You should still be able to log on as a local admin user in safe mode. Try that maybe.Hang up and live.
