5925.0. "System cannot logon to domain" by HIPS::WATSON (Eenie meenie minee moe...That one!) Thu Apr 17 1997 03:14

    I'm having problems with a Windows NT 3.51 (SP 5) Server trying to
    access a Domain. When trying to log on the error I receive is :-
    
    "The system cannot log you on now because the domain <name of domain> is
     not available"
    
    However, I can log on localy and net view / use resources on both the
    PDC and BDC (Both also Windows NT 3.51 / SP 5).
    
    Other servers (and workstations) built at the same time (yesterday !)
    work OK.
    
    I do not get an error when I join the domain (Control Panel->Network)
    specifying username + password for the admin account for the domain.
    
    Any help / pointers gratefully received,
    
    Regards,

    What kind of system are you logging on to?  And exactly how are you 
    logging in. 
    
    Is this machine a part of the domain? 
    
    If so, does Server Manager on the PDC and BDC(s) see the machine
    you are trying to log into as part of their domain?
