Dear All

I would appreciate if you can help me for the below matter:

I am running a system with windows server 2003 R2 and 10 clients with windows XP.

Recently the users have some connection problems and I noticed the below application error (in server's event viewer) which appears every 10-15 minutes.

"Details
Product Windows Operating System
ID 1054
Source Userenv
Version 5.2
Symbolic Name EVENT_FAILED_DSNAME
Message Windows cannot obtain the domain controller name for your computer network. (%1). Group Policy processing aborted.

Explanation
A network connectivity or configuration problem exists. Group Policy settings cannot be applied until the problem is fixed."


To overcome this problem I have to restart the server almost every day but it still exists!

Any suggestions for what to check?

Thank you

George

Re: SERVER 2003 APPLICATION ERROR

Welcome to TSF,

Might have been a DNS issue. See if this Article can be of helped.

If that didn't do the trick.....please try these different suggestions.

Thank you for the reply. THe first link unfortunately is not working. DNS issue? What can I check according to your opinion?

The second link is mentioning too many reasons for this error....

You may post an ipconfig/all output one-coming from the Server and another one from the XP computer.

Re: SERVER 2003 APPLICATION ERROR

Thanks for the information that you’ve provided. Based on your latest post, there are some discrepancies in your ipconfig/all output and I’ve made some suggestions. Also, is the DHCP enabled from your Server or Modem/Router? What IP did you assign your Modem/Router?

Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : ********
DHCP Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : No
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.1 >> this should be the Default Gateway Address
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.2 >> this should be the Server’s IP Address
DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 127.0.0.1 >> this should be the Server’s IP Address
Primary WINS Server . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.1

Ενεργοποίηση DHCP . . . . . . . : Yes
Αυτόματη ρύθμιση ενεργή . . . . : Ναι >> this should be a YES
Διεύθυνση IP. . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.129
Μάσκα υποδικτύου. . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Προεπιλεγμένη πύλη. . . . . . . : 192.168.0.2
Διακομιστής DHCP. . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.1
Διακομιστές DNS . . . . . . . . : 195.170.2.1
Πρωτεύων διακομιστής WINS . . . : 192.168.0.1

Re: SERVER 2003 APPLICATION ERROR

Thanks for investigating my problem!

The IP of the modem/router is 192.168.0.2 and DHCP is enabled.
The IP address of the server is 192.168.0.1
The IP address of the DNS server is 192.168.0.1
The server's TCP/IP configuration has DNS 127.0.0.1 (actually I don't know why!!!)

This configuration exists since a long time....
