No logon servers available

[stuartd]

I have a server which normally resides in an office on a domain.

I have a remote location with a server which does not belong to a domain.

I physically take the office server to the remote location to run a job, which involves copying files from the office server to the other server. The 2 machines are networked together on a hub.
When i try to access the share on the remote server, I get an error box with message:
"There are currently no logon servers available to service the login request".

I gather this is something to do with the office server wanting a domain controller to tell it what to do.

Is there a way to bypass this requirement?

(Strangely, the remote server can connect to the office machine without being prompted for any login information)

login on the local machine instead of on the domain ( normally at logon you will have the choice)
And if you really want to get rid of the message, disjoin the officeserver from the domain

As the remote server can connect to the office server OK, you could alter your to run the copy from the remote server instead.

If it doesn't leak oil it must be empty!!

You can also make a trust on those 2 domains.

Hope this helps.
