I have been searching around for a while on this issue, and have come accross a lot of information. Still my problem persists. There are three servers, one is DC and DNS and the others are member servers.
1. Reading the event log, the following error message is being displayed: (NETLOGON Event Id 5719) - No Windows NT or Windows 2000 Domain Controller is available for domain XXX. The following error occurred: There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request.
2. Performing NETDIAG gives me the following results:
DC discovery test. . . . . . . . . : Passed
DC list test . . . . . . . . . . . : Passed
Trust relationship test. . . . . . : Passed
Secure channel for domain 'XXX' is to '\\srvr.xxx.xxx'.
Kerberos test. . . . . . . . . . . : Passed
LDAP test. . . . . . . . . . . . . : Passed
Some additional information: Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 is installed, my switch has portfast enabled. I am able to log onto the member servers. Even if i was not logged onto them once before, which implies it must find a DC somehow.
At the beginning, before i set our swicht to portfast, we also had this error message: The Windows Time Service was not able to find a Domain Controller. A time and date update was not possible.
I also set the NETLOGON service to start after DNS Client has started with no improvement.
The following articles have been at hand to aid me in my troubleshooting process (and numerous threads @tek-tips.com):
1. How to Force Kerberos to Use TCP Instead of UDP: 2. Netlogon Logs Event ID 5719 on a Domain Controller: 3. Server Logs Netlogon Event 5719 When Starting: 4. Setting up the Domain Name System for Active Directory:
Re 1) Kerberos is not an issue since NETDIAG does not have a problem when testing.
Re 2) Since it's no DC it should be of no concern, but I tested it never the less, without improvement however.
Re 3) Our Switch (Cisco Catalyst 4003), and the switchports in question, are set to handle Portfast. After changing to portfast w32time errors do not occur any more.
Re 4) Well, DNS is from what I can tell ok.
Any hints out there regarding this issue are deeply appreciated.
Cheers
