The system can not log you on because the domain is unavailiable That's the error message I get from some client computers on a Server2003 domain. I am just sitting this server up, all the computers were working a few days ago. Atleast authenticating logon. Here's the kicker. Actually, I can log on under one name on a client and be told that message, and log on as another user and it logs on... I changed a client back to a workgroup, and then joined the domain again, rebooted and logged back on with a user that wont work and it said 'the system can not log you onto the domain because the systems computer account in its primary domain is missing or the password on that account is incorrect'. I think maby it has to do w/ DNS, but I am not very knowledgable about debugging issues like this.. I went into dns on the server, launched nslookup, and heres what I get. *** Can't find server name for address 192.168.1.1: Non-existent domain Default Server: UnKnown Address: 192.168.1.1 > But if I type the domain name or the server computer name i get... > local.domain Server: UnKnown Address: 192.168.1.1 Name: local.domain Address: 192.168.1.1 > aci Server: UnKnown Address: 192.168.1.1 Name: aci.local.domain Address: 192.168.1.1 > Any ideas guys? I did remove AD, and DNS, then reinstalled AD and it asked and setup DNS for me... I reinstalled it the same way i did the previous time, same options, names, etc, I just had to try that to fix another issue. __________________ -- Brad

I rejoined the domain and everything is doing a lot better now, still got plenty of bugs, but better than not being able to log on :-)
