SMC - "The management domain file...does not exist"

Hi All,
Just a quickie to see if anyone has seen this and has any pointers to getting out of it...
Solaris 10 u5 x86. Machine has got SRSS4.0 running on it, the only other modification is CUPS is running in favour of the Solaris lp stuff (got instructions for this off a BigAdmin article).
Anyways, I use SMC to manipulate user/group stuff on the local machine. SMC launches just fine, and I can gather System Information, view logs, disk configuration, processes etc. However, when attempting to do any user/group/role stuff management, I authentication with root role, click on the relevant panel, and get this:
"The management server cannot perform the operation requested.
If this problem persists, refer to the Log Viewer for additional information and contact your Sun Microsystems support provider.
The actual error reported was:
The management domain file:/shadowfire/127 does not exist or cannot be managed on server shadowfire."
The behaviour is consistent. Gee, it was running fine before, AFAIK...
Any pointers to what may have come unstuck gratefully appreciated, as always :)

I came across the same problem late July almost same day - on a brand new M4000 server with Solaris 10. I use an X-windows client to connect in and open Common Desktop Environment as "root". Then when I invoke SMC it works for everything except trying to open User Maintenance - then I get the error above.
I came across something quite by accident whilst I was being advised to make edits to /etc/hosts (which I dont think made a difference anyway so I wont mention them)
If I use my X-Windows client and open Common Desktop Environment as an ordinary user (say "joe") - then invoke SMC from the menu - when asked by the SMC utility to provide a logon then (as you would) enter the root username and password, guess what ! - I could open the User Maintenance icon without the error appearing and make changes and save them.
Funny how a less privileged user than root invoking CDE seems to provide a basis to get the option to work! I still get the error by using CDE as root
Wanna Try it?

  • "the specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted"

    Dear Experts,
    I made an installation of BPC 7.0 MS SP04 in a multiserver environment. Installation process terminated correctly. My installation user  is a domain user, and he's also local Administrator on my  Web/Application Server.
    I simply want to add a domain user to my ApShell: so I log on to ApShell with my installation user, then I click to "add a new user".
    When I try to click on "Available domain [domain name]" to see domain resources,  popup appears with the following message: "the specified domain either does not exists or could not be contacted".
    I cannot browse in to the domain!
    Additional information:       
    1.The domain has been added from BPC server manager ->define system user group->domain                                                    
    2.The BPC server are in the same domain to which this domain user belongs .
    3. I can browse the domain resources with installation user from Appl/Web server using start->control panel-> Administrative tools-> Component Services->Active directory.  
    4. It's possible also add another domain user on the security of any folder.
    5. I restarted COM+ application "OSoftUserManage"
    6. We have another multi server installation in the same domain, the installation user is the same, there is no problem about AD browsing.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I opened a case with Microsoft and this problem has been fixed!
    The issue was that I had both a Preferred DNS server (my local DNS server) and an Alternate DNS server (8.8.8.8, which I added for "good measure" in my ignorance) listed on the server.  Removing the Alternate DNS server fixed the problem.
    (Control panel/Network and Sharing Center/Change Adapter settings
    Right click on your connection, choose properties.
    Click on TCP/IPv4 (unless you are using IPv6...) and choose properties
    Make sure there is only a Preferred DNS server listed.)
    Why redundancy is not a good idea is a mystery to me, but in this case it isn't.

  • The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted when logging in through RDP. Server 2012/SBS 2007

    I have a server 2012 machine running RDP and a PDC running SBS 2007. Every once a while all my users get an error saying "The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted". After waiting ~5-10 minutes the issue resolves itself.
    I believe it has something to do with the syncing between the two but am not 100% sure. Anyone know a fix or what I should look at?

    Hi Jerry,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    After referring to your error, it seems to have DNS issue in your case which can’t locate the DC. Please check the setting related to DNS issue as following. (Below quoted from
    this thread)
    If this is the case, I would recommend proceeding like that:
    1. Make sure that each DC has only one IP address in use and ONLY one NIC card enabled (Other NICs should be disabled)
    2. Make sure that public DNS servers are configured as DNS forwarders and not in IP settings of DCs
    3. Choose a healthy DC / DNS server and make each DC point to it as primary DNS server
    4. Make each DC / DNS server point to its private IP address as secondary DNS server
    5. Make sure that needed ports for AD replication are opened: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727063.aspx
    6. Check your DNS zones and remove manually all obsolete / unused DNS records for DCs
    Once done, run ipconfig /registerdns and restart netlogon on each DC you have.
    On the client computer, run ipconfig /flushdns and check again.
    Hope it helps!
    Thanks.

  • DNS: The selected log file does not exist

    Hi to all,
    I am using Lion Server on a Mac Mini and everything seems to work fine. However, when I want to check my DNS log file (Server Admin > DNS > Log) I get a message that "The selected log file does not exist"! Stopping and starting the DNS service doesn't help. Anyone any idee how to view the log file within the Server Admin app?
    Thanks in advance!
    Ewald.

    hi John!
    if you have time, patience, and squared balls (just for laugh! ):
    Use "strace" to trace all system calls a binary make... System calls like "open" file and "close" file =)
    That's say, we are going to "trace the files opened by specific application".
    "Strace" in MacOSX comes with Developer Tools, so you'll need to install these to continue.
    First you have to know which are the Applications in the game, because "Server Admin" is a client-server application, there will be a client application in the client machine, and a server application running in the server.
    You have to trace the server application running in the server. It will be the one which opens the log file, and sends the data to the client application.
    I've made some previous investigation about the Server Admin Log parser (see https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3352647?start=0&tstart=0).
    Also will be helpfull to read a little bit about strace ( http://linux.die.net/man/1/strace )
    Here i do my bet, maybe that command line is what you look for:
    #sudo strace launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.ServerPerfLog.plist | grep "open"
    sudo: do as super user
    strace: trace the binary
    launchctl: system service
    load -w file: load, as defined in this file
    | grep open: and substract just the "open file" traces
    Let me know if that gives you more clues!

  • Setting up a PDC: error-"The specified domain either does not exist or.....

    **** Everyone...
    Please, would someone give me some help to resolve the error (WIN7):
    "The specified domain does not exist or could not be contacted."
    I have Open Directory, DNS and SMB running. No errors are present.
    Any info I can give to help solve,please ask.
    Thank you.

    Sorry, that problem is not an DNS problem but an SMB 3.0.28a (version used in SLS 10.6.1) problem in conjunction with Windwos 7. It is well know that Samba versions before 3.3.4 won´t work with Windows 7, see http://ggts.net/2009/05/17/joining-a-windows-7-system-to-a-samba-domain/ and https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6680
    You can to some easy command-line test on the Win7 client, e.g. nltest dctest:<domainname> and you will see that domain and pdc are properly resolved but the client can not be added due to password bugs.
    It´s time for now Apple to move on to a more recent version of samba, version 3.0.28a is 20 months old!!!
    Right now, OS X Server 10.6.1 with OD/SMB as PDC is not usable with Windows 7 clients right now! Since this bug is known since 2 months and fixed 5 days later it´s quite impressing how Apple looks after their customers!

    Thank you for the quick reply Srini.
    But my email program is working fine if I change the path from %APPLCSF%APPLOUT to Customtop\out directory to identify the file. It was sent the attachment also to my email id.
    But my requirement is I need to send the file from Out directory not from customtop out . Even it is not recognized the .out file using this UTL_File.fgetattr() in out directory.
    Appreciate any furthur assistance.

  • "File does not exist or access denied"

    Hi
    I am new to FDM. I am trying to import a .csv file in FDM using Import Format Builder. When i select the file in the Inbox folder of my application, it gives me the message "Error: File does not exist or access denied".
    Any ideas why this error is coming. I have been struggling with this error for some time now.
    Thanks in advance

    Hello,
    I do not think it has anything to do with the configured ID for the AppPool and would not suggest tinkering around in it, as it can damage the application significantly.
    Some concerns that I have are the following:
    1. When you get the error, do you get a 'white' fish?
    2. What does your UserError Log state? Clear it and reproduce the issue and post the results.
    3. What does the Import Log state? (Import button on the View File tab of the Import Fish)
    Thank you.

  • File does not exist: /export/home/oracle/orahtml/marvel/images/spacer.gif

    Seeing this error in the apache log:
    File does not exist: /export/home/oracle/orahtml/marvel/images/spacer.gif
    I know there are spacer.gif files under the theme folders but why is it looking for a spacer.gif file in the images folder? Is this a bug?

    Hello,
    Yes I just checked it's a problem with theme 9 there are a couple of places where the theme calls #IMAGE_PREFIX#spacer.gif when it should call #IMAGE_PREFIX#themes/theme_9/spacer.gif
    There are two ways for you to fix this
    1. Copy themes/theme_9/spacer.gif to the top level images directory, I recommend this one because then if someone creates the theme from the repository again it wont' come up agian.
    2. Change all #IMAGE_PREFIX#spacer.gif to #IMAGE_PREFIX#themes/theme_9/spacer.gif in theme 9, if you export the theme you can just us a search and replace the export to do this and then reapply the theme.
    This as been bugged and will get fixed in future version.

    Hi! I'm having trouble opening a indd-file. It was sent to me as a zip-fil along with the used fonts and links. When I try to open the file, I'm getting this error: "Either the file does not exist, you do not have permission, or the file may be in use by another application". I've tried to look up this error both here in these forums and through google, but can't find a similar case. Hope someone can help me with this. Please let me know if you need more information/details, and I'll provide. Thanks!

    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
    I'm suspecting it to come from a mac user, if that could influence the case...
    It does come from a Mac, as is proven by the fonts, which are of no use on my Windows machine, but that doesn't prevent my CS4 to open it without any problem. It seems to me it's a perfectly regular CS2 file.
    Just for cheers I set the file to Read-only, but my InDesign opens it regardless (again as a copy, because it's a "converted" file).
    Could it be something in your environment? No network read/write privileges, insufficient free hard disk space, stuff like that?
