Hello Everyone,
I have an XServe running Server 10.5.3 that is configured to serve as an Open Directory Master and a PDC. When I try to have any XP client join the domain, I can do so without any problems. I type in the AD domain my XServe is hosting and provide administrator account credentials and successfully join that domain. But after completing the required reboot post joining the Domain, I cannot log into the machine using those same credentials.
At the Windows XP Login Screen, I get the following message after tempting to log in.
“Windows cannot connect to the domain, either because the domain controller is down or otherwise unavailable, or because your computer account was not found. Please try again later. If this message continues to appear, contact your system administrator for assistance.”
I confused as to why I can have my XP client join the domain without any trouble, but then I cannot log into that same client using the same username and password. Any ideas as to what I have configured wrong or what I am overlooking. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
