Hi,
We have a Windows NT 4 Domain here with a couple of Windows 2000
servers. One server here runs RAS with two dialin lines, and is about
to be retired.
When I attempt to enable RAS on an additional Windows 2000 box, I can't
start it, getting the following error:
----
"Windows was unable to add this computer to the list of valid remote
access servers in the Active Directory. Before you can use this
computer as a remote access server, the domain administrator must
complete this task."
----
We don't have an Active Directory.
This is then followed by Windows attempting to start the RAS service,
telling me
----
"The Remote Access and Routing service did not start because:
The authentication server did not respond to authentication requests in
a timely fashion."
----
Great.
The full event log error states:
Event Type: Error
Event Source: RemoteAccess
Event Category: None
Event ID: 20153
Date: 6/03/2002
Time: 10:00:45 PM
User: N/A
Computer: PRINTERS
Description:
The currently configured accounting provider failed to load and
initialize successfully. The authentication server did not respond to
authentication requests in a timely fashion.

I think this server thinks it's part of an ActiveDirectory domain that
doesn't actually exist.
Anyone have any pointers?
