Hi

Suddenly in our Windows 2003 R2 member server in event log the following
error appeared

Windows cannot obtain the domain controller name for your computer network.
(An unexpected network error occurred. ).
Group Policy processing aborted.

It repeats every one hour. We haven't changed anything on server or on a
domain environment. Have checked DNS and network settings and all look
right.
Any ideas what to do to solve this?
Regards,
Miha

Hello Miha,

Please post an unedited ipconfig /all from the server and your DC/DNS server
also. Additional post the complete event viewer entry.

Best regards

Hi Meinolf,

Thank you, but we're still having the same problem. Maybe I'll try to remove
the server from the domain, deleted the account and re-joined it.

Hi Miha
is it an AMD Dual Core? When you ping an other maschine from this server are
you getting negative time values in the responses?

Hello Miha,

This may be a way but not a real solution. Please describe more details about
your domain setup and post an unedited dcdiag /v, netdiag and repadmin /showrepl,
so we can check for errors on the DCs.

Was there any crash before this starts or is the server installed from an
image that isn't sysprepped?

If this had not solved your issue, sounds like this could also be cause by
some networking (offload) issues. Broadcom NICs ?

Hi
Funny, I see so many possible solutions... What about starting with the
basics?
Communication problems? Start your network sniffer...!!!

I hope that the information above helps you.
Have a Nice day.
