Unable to login to Server 2003 using adminitrator domain account

We were not able to login to a domain server with server 2003 using a Domain Admin account. We were able to log in using a Local Admin account. We tried dropping and re-adding the server to the domain, but still had the same issue. After logging in using
the Local Admin account we created a new SID using sysinternals. This seemed to work, but the next day after a server reboot, we encountered that issue again. Any ideas why this is happening and why creating a new SID seems to fix the issue until a reboot?

Try adding Domain Admins to local administrators group.

  • Sync Tool error: Unable to Login to Server

    Hello - we're using the SunONE Sync Tool v1.1 and have a user trying to synchronize with Outlook, but the tool keeps throwing an "Unable to Login to Server" error, although the exact same username, password, server and port # work on the browser login. This is the only user with this problem; on other machines (with the same OS and version of Outlook, the sync tool works for the most part - at least it lets the user login).
    We've tried re-entering the settings, re-entering the password and the next step will be a re-install of the sync tool.
    Any ideas? Thanks!

    I have tried on 3 other system and it works omethly except for this user.
    I have exhausted all my options but no luck so far .

  • Remotely login error on windows server 2003 using gemalto smart card

    I am getting this error when trying to log on windows server 2003 remotely using smartcard. We have our own CA. We are able to successfully logon on windows server 2008 using same card.

    Hi,
    Base on my research, Event 537 indicates that a logon attempt was made and rejected for some reason other than those covered by explicit audit records in this category.
    Would you please provide more details?
    Are there any related warnings and errors under Application Logs or System Logs?
    By remotely login, do you mean logon via RDP?
    Here are some related links below for you references:

  • Adobe Acrobat X on Server 2003 (using remote desktop services)

    Hi guys,
    I need to purchase a copy of Adobe Acrobat for Windows Server 2003 for use in Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010, as well as everyday Acobat read/write tasks. There will be about 4 or 5 simultaneous users connecting to the server using RDP (via Windows Vista and 7).
    My question is, will a single copy of Adobe Acrobat X Standard suffice or work properly on Windows Server 2003 for all users?
    I can't seem to find any information on Adobe Acrobat X and terminal services (or Remote Desktop Services).
    Hope I've made sense, and any help will be appreciated
    Thanks

    Hi,
    What Word prompts when user attempts to login with the original account? Any error messages?
    Since the feature will work if you create a new account, have you ever compared the property of these two accounts? Maybe the security or permission setting during the creation process?
    We lack testing environment here for this kind of issues, and we have another dedicated support teams in

  • Mac to server 2003 using active directory

    I am trying to connect my mac to a windows server 2003. When I click on network, I can see the server, but when I try to connect I get this message:
    "The alias "Server1" could not be opened, because the original item cannot be found."
    The wierd think is, I can see it but I can't connect. I also am using entourage because they use and exchange sever for email, I am able to connect to that fine.
    I have spent way too much time trying to get this to work, any help would be much thanked.

    The following settings need to be disabled in Group Policy:

  • Unable to connect Windows server 2003 to windows 2012

    Hi, I am using Windows server 2012 R2 as DC, server 2012 R2 as Member server with DHCP role and another serer 2003 ENT as Dhcp server.
    I am trying fail-over on server 2012 and server 2003. but when I am trying to authorize the DHCP on server 2003 its stating that it cannot contact DC. Where I checked DC its working fine. Server 2003 is able to ping dc with name and IP as well. 
    Thanks in advance...

    I do believe the technology for failover DHCP is different in 2012R2 and 2003.
    In Windows Server 2003 -
    "To host the DHCP server on a Windows Failover Cluster, the DHCP database needs to be hosted on a shared storage accessible to both nodes of a cluster in addition to the deployment of the cluster itself. DHCP servers running on each node of the
    cluster operate on the same DHCP database hosted on the shared storage..."
    In Windows Server 2012 -
    The servers does not need to have a central DB, they make use of a replication technique to ensure both DBs are kept constant and up to date.

  • Server admin is unable to login to server.app after upgrade to Mountain Lion Server?

    After upgrade to Mountain Lion Server I am unable to login to the server tools. When I input the admin user name and password the dialog box just shakes indicating the wrong password. But it is the correct password. How do I reset the password or if necessary how do I rest the server and start over on Mountain Lion. I found info on how to reset the server on previous versions of the server which involved executing a plist in the LaunchDaemon folder. However that file does not exist on the server following upgrade to Mountain Lion.
    Thanks, Howard

    I upgraded today and had the same issue. I took following steps to fix my computer.
    Boot into Recovery Partition (Hold Option Button while booting)
    Open Terminal.
    Type resetpassword
    Select your hard drive
    Select the user account (Administrator)
    Enter a new password for the user
    Reenter password
    Save
    Restart
    Boot normally, Login as Adminstrator with the new password and add "Admin" permission to your account.
    Restart
    Everything should be working as expected

  • How do I add a Mac to a Windows Server 2003 or 2008 domain?

    I recently started working for a public school district that runs Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008 R2. There are several faculty members, myself included, that would like to get their Macs onto the domain and capable of file sharing, printing to network printers, etc. I cannot find decent instructions anywhere. Could someone please point me in the right direction or give me some directions? It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    I'm also new to the MAC world - I trust you were able to join the MAC's to the domain - I finally figured it out. However, I have not been able to get the MAC's to save to the Windows 2008 server where I have student folders setup. Have you been able to do this? If so can share the info with us.
    Thanks,

  • Windows Server 2003 DC / ADC Domain Join Problem

    Hi,
    I have Windows Server 2003 DC configured. It is Catalog Server and it holds all the fsmo roles .Also DNS Server too.
    Now I created an additional domain Controller (ADC) _ dns server + i made it a global catalog server too,
    The problem is when i shutdown my dc, I am not able to join client machines to the domain.
    It says " The domain controller could not be contacted"
    DNS Successful queried srv records..
    the following domain controllers were found:
    In the client pc , i have set up dns of dc and alternate dns of adc.
    Why is this problem occurring?
    Samvit

    It says " The domain controller could not be contacted"
    This is a DNS resolution problem.
    Please make sure that each of your DCs is:
    Pointing to the other one as primary DNS server
    Points to its private IP address as secondary one
    Points to 127.0.0.1 as third DNS server
    Once done, restart netlogon service and run ipconfig /registerdns. For client computers, you need to make sure that they point to both DCs as primary and secondary DNS servers. As for the public DNS servers, they need to be configured on
    your DCs as forwarders.
    More details about recommendations for DCs IP settings here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/18513.active-directory-replication-issues-basic-troubleshooting-steps-single-ad-domain-in-a-single-ad-forest.aspx
    If this does not help the please check that there is no filtering between DCs and clients with DCs.

  • Compatibility Exchange Server 2003 SP2 and Domain controllers Windows Server 2008 R2

    Hi all, I have this scenario:
    - Two Domain Controllers Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2
    - Two mail servers Exchange Server 2003 with the following version:
      6.5 (Build 7638.2 Service Pack 2)
    I want to upgrade my domain controllers to Windows Server 2008 R2.
    My question is whether exchange Server 2003 6.5 (Build 7638.2 Service Pack 2) is supported with Domain Controllers Windows Server 2008 R2.
    Can you tell me some official Microsoft website where this reflected?
    regards
    Microsoft Certified IT Professional Server Administrator

    Exchange Server 2003 SP2 supports DCs running Windows Server 2008 R2. These DCs should be RWDCs and not RODCs:
    Exchange 2003 SP2 will now be supported against writeable Windows Server 2008 R2 Active Directory Servers.  Additionally, with the General Availability of Exchange Server 2010, and those looking to standardize on Windows
    Server 2008 R2 we have enhanced the supportability of forest and domain functional levels up to Windows Server 2008 R2.  This change is effective immediately on Exchange 2003 SP2.

  • IIS Anonymous User using Plumtree Domain Account

    Is it good or accepted practice to create a Plumtree domain account and have the remote portlets (web apps) use this username / pwd instead of the anonymous user (IUSR_MACHINE) accounts? Then we would only need to grant acess to the Plumtree domain account on file shares, etc.

    The anonymous user for IIS should not be a domain user. It should be a local account and given minimal rights.

    Hi All,
    I have a new customer with SBS 2003 running as an Exchange Server.  He have four workstations and one server.  He is also running M$SQL Server 2005.  Does Exchange Server use M$SQL Server?  (Need to know for backup considerations.)

    No problem. Check if you have SQL management studio installed on the computer and open it up,to see what db are in there.
