Logon Failed
I have a DC that is running 2008 R2 serverand I am having a couple of issues with. First off when I try to RDP into the server using my logon informatin it tells me that my username or password is incorrect. I cannot log onto the server physically
because I get the same message. I have to reboot the server in order to logon with my credenials. I am at a loss as to why this may be happening.
Another issue is that the Windows Time Service will not start, even after reboot. I have tried to setup an outside Time source but I'm not sure I've done it correctly. That could be why the service will not start. I followed the instructionsI found in a
KB article.
I am at a loss so any suggestions would be of great help.
Thanks, Keith (klirette)

Hello,
let's start with ann unedited ipconfig /all from the server and the client you try to connect from.
Is that the only DC in the domain or are there more then one?Best regards Meinolf Weber Disclaimer: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees , and confers no rights.

First of all I want to thank ALL that replied.
Since it was a small network with only a few users I went ahead and ran dcpromo to demote the DC, restarted, and then ran dcpromo again to recreate the Domain.
After that I just had to reconnect all the computers to the domain and now I am having no trouble, even my time issue seems to be corrected.
If I have the same trouble I'll definitely look deeper into the situation.
Thanks again,
Keith
