I am not sure what the problem is maybe someone can help figure it out.
I have a remote office that we've been having issues with. There are about a dozen users out there with Win2000/XP computers. During the last couple of months they have been complaining that they cannot log into the domain because they get an error that reads something about the server not responding in a timely fashion.
They have a Windows 2000 server out at this location that was just setup as a file server for sharing files, so I thought I would set it up as a domain controller so that they could log into the domain locally instead of authenticating through the WAN link.
Now when I try to install Active Directory on this server I get an error similar to what the workstations have been getting when they can't logon.
======================
Active Directory Installation Failed
Binding to server SERVER1 using the supplied credentials failed
"The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion."
======================
In the past the only way I could fix this problem for the remote users was to physically reboot the PDC at our main office and then they could login again. I can't keep rebooting the PDC like this. Does anyone have some thoughts on what it could be?
