AD trouble

[leobis]

In short, when I right click on the computer from Active directory and I choose the command "Manage" from my server (W2000 adv. server) I always experience this kinda of warning note: "Computer \\leotosh.tuscany.it cannot be managed . The network path was not found. Choose connect to another computer from the action menu to manage a different computer" .... as a result I cannot link to the client but if I try to ping it every is Ok.
Any suggestions
Thanks Leo

Ps. "Leotosh" is the host_name of my laptop working with W2000 Pro - while "tuscany.it" is the domain

The AD management session will use the default LDAP ports (389 and 636)
Make sure that these ports are open and listening between your management laptop and the managed server.
First try to get a terminal server session to the box (Port 3389), or Telnet (Port 23) if you can not, then there is a possibility that network ports are being filtered at the switch or router.
If you encapsulate IPSEC there are a whole range of other issues that may be affecting the connectivity.

are you doing the ping with the name or with the IP? A+, MCP, CCNA

Keep fighting for your knowledge!

Hi koquito,

I manage to ping either with name and the Ip address.

Thanks

Is File and Printer Sharing enabled on the computer?
See Q262597

I 'm a novice with w2000 server, so how can I enable the LADP ports that MsclusterGuy (389 & 636)
Thanks again.

does this happen with any computer you try to manage (assuming there are others...)? When you're on the server, are you sure you have admin rights to the laptop?

 

[leobis]

In my LAN there's only a server and the laptop which I use for training; I also checked the admin right and everything seems to be ok.

Any further suggestions?

thanks
Leo

 

[brontosaurus]

try removing the laptop from the domain (put it in a workgroup), delete the computer account, wait about 15 minutes, then rejoin.

 

[leobis]

Thanks a lot brontosaurus, I followed your last advice and now the "manage" command works properly; but I think you were right when you first stated to check the Admin right, I probably make some mess as always; anyway thanks a lot .... by the way I have some other snugs to iron out, can I bother you?
Grazie 1000
Leo

All snugs are welcome...(I have no idea what that means)
