1835.0. "net 53 when starting netlogon." by KERNEL::BURNST () Tue Apr 29 1997 08:41

    Hi,
    
    Cust has a problem with pw osf v5.0f. (I have already sent out the
    5.0g eco 2 patch) The cust system has started showing a problem with
    syncronizing with his nt PDC. the system will not start netlogon.
    Upon trying to start this the message 
    net error 53 
    The network path was not found, or the local server is not running.
    Can anybody throw any light on this error as the users can still
    connect to the server which has now been put into standalone (and tried
    net account /role:backup). The server has been restarted several times
    and the accounts database has been re-built and the server has still
    not started netlogon.
    PWRKSETUP CONFIG has also been run to re-config the server and still no
    joy. Has anyone seen this or found a way round it as previous notes on
    this seem to end inconclusivly.

1835.1Try re-adding the server to the domainCPEEDY::GARDETue Apr 29 1997 14:2916
    
    
    It sounds like the v5.0f server is not able to communicate to the NT
    server properly.  One thing you can try is to make the v5.0f system a
    PDC of its own domain.  On the NT, remove the 5.0f system from the
    domain using server manager.
    
    Make sure that netlogon comes up ok when the v5.0f server is a PDC, and
    if so, then change it to standalone again and have it rejoin the NT
    domain.  My guess is that the PATHWORKS server is out of synch with the
    NT and cannot authenticate itself.  Deleting and re-adding the server
    will reset the server account.

1835.2Now working again.KERNEL::BURNSTWed Apr 30 1997 11:0911
    Hi,
    
    Thanks for the info. After trying that the unix box came up OK but the
    net view commad works to sho the unix server. net view \\ntserver
    came up again with a error 53.
    The upshot of this was that there was a problem with the NT server and
    seemed to get screwed up using netbuei whele not saying it had netbeui
    loaded in the contol panel. Setting up netbeui again fixed the problem
    so now all is working OK.
