Mehmet, I'd like to suggest an option before any of the five are executed.
Install NetMon (preferably from SMS for the 'other than just your PC' traffic) or some other sniffer-like software (Etherpeek, Ethereal, etc). Capture the session of a successful PC join, and then capture the session of this problem system. Analyze and build the traffic map to determine what information is not being sent, received, or answered properly. You may have to take a total of 4 traces, one at the DC for success, one at the PC for success, and same for the problem system. Once you have this information, you should be able to determine the cause with much greater accuracy or at least know WHY you're resigning. ;o) Rick Kingslan MCSE, MCSA, MCT Microsoft MVP - Active Directory Associate Expert Expert Zone - www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mehmet AVSAR Sent: Thursday, September 04, 2003 4:01 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ActiveDir] Reload "The specified network name is no longer available" I'm reloading the yesterday's message with some extra information I gathered today. Situtation: - I have 2 domains (A and B), and one DC on each (DC-A, DC-B) - I have several clients on each domain. - Client X (Win XP Pro) can join domain A successfully, but not B. - Other clients can join domain B. - I can ping DC-B from client X with both name and IP - There are terminal servers installed on both DCs. - Client X cannot connect both terminal servers. (Timed out) - Client X's primary DNS server is DC-B. - CLIENT X IS 128K FRAME RELAYED TO DC'S. - I can connect to Client X with remote desktop utility of XP very speedy, but X cannot connect to the Internet (can resolve hostnames, but cannot transfer data). (great possibly of frame relay settings) - And I repeat, X can join one domain very speedy. What I did until now: -Renamed X to Y, deleted every related record from AD of DC-B. And retried. Nope, same message. -Checked DNS settings, event viewer for any clue. Nope, everything is OK. -File And Printing Service is OK, TCP/IP Helper Service is started and set to automatic. Now choose one, what do you recommend me to do: 1) Throw out that DC-B from the highest place you can find. 2) Put DC-B's case on DC-A's case. Sit on them. 3) Throw out that Client X from... 4) Tell accounting department not to use computers for accounting for reliability reasons. 5) Tell the boss you resign. :-) Mehmet List info : http://www.activedir.org/mail_list.htm List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/list_faq.htm List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/ List info : http://www.activedir.org/mail_list.htm List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/list_faq.htm List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/
