Windows 8.1 Pro workstation will not connect to our domain

My situation has me puzzled.
I've got a workstation that I want to be added to the domain. I got it added no problems. When I go to login on my own user account on the domain, it works as it should.
As I hand off this workstation over to a user and had them log into it, they mention that "There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request."
I checked their group policies on the domain controller and its setup exactly like the others.
Most of our machines are windows 7 pro, and they all are able to login to the domain just fine; including the person in question from before on a windows 7 pro machine. For some reason however, using the same credentials and same everything else, it refuses
to attempt to try to connect to our domain.
If I'm able to connect using windows 8.1 pro on my account, while a normal user can't, I suspect its a group policy issue? The user is a member of "domain user" group so I'd think that would be the only real ticket they would need. Again they can
use their own credentials under windows 7 pro and connect up fine, and my very own credentials for windows 8.1 pro machine logged in and carried out group policy information as well.
Well now here is something, just as I was typing this up, I made a test account that has domain admin rights and low and behold, it was able to log in though it doesn't appear that group policy mapped drives or shortcuts were placed.
I guess the question now is what would a domain admin have over a domain user that would allow a domain admin to log in and not a domain user that is specific to windows 8.1 pro.

Hi
Check your DNS settings on the machine. Are you using static entries at all?
Can you ping the DC from that machine? Also try turning off UAC and check your firewalls.

    As I mentioned above, I am not very tech savvy so I have no idea why a wireless protocol would be showing up there, I'm just listing everything I see in hopes that someone might know something I can try. This is why I am asking for help here - I'm not sure what has happened that has made me unable to connect, especially since it seemingly occured while nobody was using the computer.
    I guess I should clarify that I'm not a total hillbilly- normally my firewall is set to 'on', but I set it to 'off' to try and troubleshoot the issues here as I was told that sometimes it can interfere with the computer's ability to connect to the internet. If this is not the case and firewall does not affect anything, I will turn it back on while I try to fix this.
    I have tried the method you mentioned above a few times - I actually contacted my ISP earlier this week and they recommended resetting the router like that. They didn't mention any known network issues.

  • TS1398 My ipod touch will not connect to our wifi all of a sudden. It has worked fine for 6 months and now just has stopped connecting. I have done all the trouble shooting tips available. Any other ideas?

    We bought this itouch for our daughter for Christmas (2011), It has worked fine all this time until now. All of a sudden it will not connect to our home wi fi. All the other ipods/iphones/laptops and desktop are connecting fine so I know it is not the router itself. I have tried all the standard troubleshooting tips (forgetting the network and resetting it on the ipod, turning it off an on, plugging it in and updating the software, we even restored it completely from itunes as a new ipod). It lists the network as available but then when you try to connect it just sits there with the little circle icon thing spinning, trying to connect but never does.Please help!

    So you also rebooted your router correct?  Does the iPod still connect okay to other networks?

  • We have an old titanium PowerBook that will not connect to our AirPort Extreme network. What gives.

    We have an old titanium PowerBook that will easily connect to any WiFi cafe or hotel network, but will not connect to our AirPort Extreme network. What gives.
    When the Apple Tec. installed our network for our 3 iMAXs, he couldn't it to connect either. Of course our two iPads have no trouble connecting.
    We are also having trouble getting it to upgrade from OS 10.5.8 to 10.6, even though I have a Snow Leopard up date family pack.

    What is your Wireless Security setting on the network?  Since you are running Leopard, I may not have the desired answer, but some of the Airport-equipped laptops, like the TiBooks, are said not to support all of the settings.  I have an AE network which supports b and g, with "WPA2 Personal" settings and the TiBooks connect with that one OK with 811.b Airport.
    Oh, and no way to upgrade beyond 10.5.8 Leopard for PPC machines like the Titanium G4 Powerbooks, as 10.6 and above require Intel processors.
    EDIT: I didn't notice this, but the TiBooks may be connecting with WPA encryption on my network, as I have the following display on my settings:

    Any other options I can try????

    Try rebooting the router. Just pull the power for a few seconds. No settings are lost.

  • Officejet Pro 8100 will not connect wirelessly to my main PC

    Was able to connect the printer to the wireless network and will print for a wireless laptop but am not able to select this printer by my main PC.  When asking it to add a new printer it finds the 8100 but freezes at that point and will not connect.  I have reloaded the driver software but the software also freezes when trying to locate the printer.

    Hello wsw1,
    Welcome to the HP Forums! I understand the software keeps freezing when "Locating the Printer".
    What is your operating system on this computer? Windows or Mac?
    Try installing this software over a USB connection. Please follow this HP document on Installing Printers Software over a USB Connection.  Choose your correct operating system.
    This will be a test, to verify if the software is able to successfully install without freezing. (Make sure you leave the USB cord out of the computer until it prompts you to connect.)
    If you get this software installed on your computer, then try Convert from a USB connected printer to wireless.
    Looking forward to hearing from you.

  • Macbook Pro suddenly will not connect to the internet via ethernet cable.

    I know this is a long shot... but I figured I would give it a try.
    My macbook pro suddenly does not connect to the internet via ethernet cable. Please bear with me, as I am not very tech-savvy - I will try my best to describe the symptoms!
    I connect to the internet via ethernet (we don't have wifi). It was working before I went to work, and when I came home I suddenly couldn't get anything to work (I know everyone says this, but I truly didn't mess with anything). Internet browsers just think for awhile and then turn up the 'You are not connected to the internet' error.
    I went into my network preferences and curiously, the 'Ethernet' shows a green dot and says 'connected'. However it says 'Authentication server is not responding' underneath the last part that says '802.1X: WPA: eduroam' (I think that is my user profile).
    When I go into my 'security' settings I can see that my firewall is off, so that shouldn't be causing any problems.
    I've tried restarting the router and computer itself many times. Diagnostics just gets to a certain point and reports back 'Network Diagnostics cannot fix the current networking problems.' I've also tried switching to a different ethernet cable, and I tried both cables out on a PC laptop and it connected without issue.  Additionally, I brought my macbook along to a friend's house and it connected to his wifi just fine, so the problem appears to just be with ethernet connections.
    I know it's hard to troubleshoot this kind of thing without being there and having a look at the computer yourself, but any tips wouild be greatly appreciated.

  • Officejet pro 8600 will not connect to wireless network

    I have an new Officejet Pro 8600 that I am trying to set up.  I have run the the wireless network setup wizard multiple times.  It recognizes the wireless network router asks for the WEP code and then thinks for about 5 minutes before returning a message: "Unable to connect to the network" 
    The wireless network test results suggestes that MAC address filtering may be the problem.  There is no MAC filtering function activated on our wireless router.
    The wireless router is a Verizon Actiontec MI424-WR    802.11 b & n
    We have computers running both Windows XP and MAC OS X.
    One of the reasons that we purchased this printer is for the wireless capabilities.  If it will not conect to the web then it may be going back.

    Hello,
    Based on the provided details, I believe the issue have something to do with the wireless security settings of your router.
    Please follow the steps below to access the Advanced Security Settings:
    http://www22.verizon.com/ResidentialHelp/FiOSInternet/Networking/Setup/ActiontecMI424/125511.htm
    Below you will see the Network Authentication settings.
    Select either Open System Authentication or Both.
    Shared Key Authentication is not supported by the printer, and i believe this might be the cause for the connection failure.
    Please let me know of any change,
    Shlomi

  • Macbook Pro Retina will not connect to Panasonic E5 tv through HDMI anymore

    When I originally purchased the MBP Retina, it connected to my Panasonic E5 tv without any issues. After an Apple update, now there's just blank black screens on both devices. I've tried all the resets I can think of. Both the MBP and tv are running the latest firmwires. This has been the issue since the end of September 2012.
    I've tried the MBP on display models in the shop, and the same problem occured there.
    Interestingly, the MBP does connect fine to older tv's (between 3 and 5 years) but not the new one. It also seemed to work on the Sony tv's
    Has anyone else found this issue, and managed to resolve it?
    Thanks

  • MacBook Pro running Logic Pro 9 will not connect to iPad

    MacBook is running Yosemite, downloaded last night. iPad is running iOS 8.1.2, updated yesterday. Logic Pro 9 version is 9.1.8. Logic Remote is version 1.1.1, also downloaded yesterday.
    I've tried pairing the devices by Bluetooth as well as logging them onto 2 different WiFi networks.
    Firewall on the MacBook is turned off.
    I've tried deleting com.apple.logic.pro.cs and then restarting the MacBook.
    Still, every single time I start Logic Remote, I get the message "No Mac running Logic, GarageBand or MainStage was found".
    Is there anything else I can try or do these machines / apps simply not work together?

    Hi
    Logic Remote only works with LPX? Try using TouchOSC instead

  • CP1515n will not connect to our switch (100baseTX)

    As a workaround I've added an old 10baseT hub between the printer and the LAN, this hub only supports 10M half duplex, which the printer detects and connects to OK. Unfortunately this means extra "junk" on the printer table.
    My guess is the ethernet autonegotiation is failing.
    I've tried it direct to the switch and the connect light flashes intermittently.
    I've tried it through a different switch and it responded to pings intermittantly. DHCP fails in this configuration.
    I've tried turning off autonegotiation on the printer to no avail, the switch still didn't react. I have a router with a configurable switch, I might try that and configure the ports manually.

    Make sure the server is the server address without http:// or https://. I read a thread earlier this week that had this issue and was solved this way.

  • Windows 8.1 Pro Workstations - Not Getting "Install Updates and Shut Down" notification for new updates

    We've got a small handful of Windows 8.1 Pro workstations on our domain (SBS 2008).
    The workstations show up in the WSUS Console list along with the details of how many updates need to be installed.
    On the Windows 8.1 Pro workstations, at the logon screen they display "Important Updates Are Available. Go to PC Settings to install them".  If we go to PC Settings or Windows Updates via Control Panel the updates show as awaiting installation.
    However, we can't rely on users to go into PC Settings or Control Panel to install Windows Updates. We need them to be installed as per Windows 7 and Windows XP - whereby when the user shuts down their workstations it displays the message "Install Updates
    and Shutdown".
    Currently the Windows 8.1 Pro workstations do not show this - if you choose to shut down there are no update installation messages and the workstations simply shut down.
    Has anyone else encountered this? What needs to be done?
    Thanks in advance.
    I don't work for Microsoft - I just use their products.

    It does sound weird yes.
    Id like to try and mirror your setup in my lab.
    What settings do you have in your WSUS GPO?
    Have you seen this, in the 'Configure Automatic Updates' setting?
          On Windows 8 and later, you can set updates to install during automatic maintenance instead of a specific schedule. Automatic maintenance will install updates when the computer is not in use, and avoid doing so when the computer
    is running on battery power. If automatic maintenance is unable to install updates for 2 days, Windows Update will install updates right away. Users will then be notified about an upcoming restart, and that restart will only take place if there is no potential
    for accidental data loss.
            Automatic maintenance can be further configured by using Group Policy settings here: Computer Configuration->Administrative Templates->Windows Components->Maintenance Scheduler
