Does this version of Universe pre-date the PDC emulator fix? If not you will not be able to login to UniVerse if the database cannot access the server with the PDC Emulator FSMO role.

Your domain user can't "open" some file that Universe is trying to open. For example uvtemp or something, who knows. The "local" user would most likely own all the files. But go to TCL and make sure what users are logged in. For example nine hundred sessions trying to lock the uv.accounts file..... -----Original Message----- From: David Wolverton <dwolv...@flash.net> To: 'U2 Users List' <u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org> Sent: Thu, Sep 15, 2011 11:03 am Subject: Re: [U2] UniVerse 10.3 with Domain Controller Failure Correct -- the screen opens and what you would normally see next is the niVerse 'banner' - the cursor just blinks... Nothing. But the 'shell screen' is 'open' and 'trying' to connect. And for DNS -- if the other applications were 'dead' as well on the machine, gain, I'd suspect something 'outside' -- But it's sounding more like a ocket support call than anything, so may have to ask the vendor to see what hey say. -----Original Message----- rom: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Wjhonson ent: Thursday, September 15, 2011 12:29 PM o: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org ubject: Re: [U2] UniVerse 10.3 with Domain Controller Failure hat exactly do you mean by the statement that uvshell "hangs" o you mean it opens the uvshell application but will not give you any essage at all? so its just a blank gray screen? r do you mean it won't even open the application window?

(I hate the fact they have 3 different databases on this machine, but it is illustrative that it's 'only UniVerse' as both the Great Plains and the Oracle databases are running without a glitch since the failover, so I'm looking at what I can do to 'fix' Universe.) -----Original Message----- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of John Thompson Sent: Thursday, September 15, 2011 12:11 PM To: U2 Users List Subject: Re: [U2] UniVerse 10.3 with Domain Controller Failure This is a wild guess... So my disclaimer is, "Try at your own risk" Part of my hatred for Windows Active Directory resides with this very issue, but, I digress... I have seen servers and workstations not talk to the backup domain controller before, especially after a primary domain controller failure. SO, IF, the Primary Domain Controller has failed... and the Backup is now controlling things, and the primary is still not up and running... You might be able to do the following to fix your login issue: 1) Remove the UV server from the domain completely 2) Reboot 3) Re-join the UV server to the domain 4) Reboot 5) Check whatever UV uses (which I have no knowledge of) to login to the domain and make sure its not a hardcoded hostname pointer kind of thing to the domain controller that is not online. Like I said. A wild guess, but, I've seen it work with other servers and workstations when a "Primary Domain Controller" would fail and the backup would pick up. Don't ask me why... I'm not a MCSE guy.
