Okay, just to clear things up, I log into the Domain with my username being NIHAL.
When I log in, then when I click start in Windows XP, it displays my full name on
the top of the blue start menu, which is my full name, Nihal Fernando. Then after
some time when I click on the start button, it freezes up the system for a little
while and when I click on the start bar, it displays NIHAL instead of Nihal Fernando
and then when I log off and then log on again, it takes forever to log in for some
odd reason until I restart the computer. I have looked into the event viewer to see
the problem and this is what it gave me:
Automatic certificate enrollment for local system failed to contact the active directory
(0x8007054b). The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted.
Enrollment will not be performed.
Now, is there something wrong with my server that is doing this constantly? Must
I reinstall DNS on my server or Active Directory on my server or will it make a mess
all over again? Must I create a Static IP on my client to prevent this from happening?
This is the only client that has this issue. All the other clients seem to run fine,
but the server has DNS errors eversince I have uninstalled Exchange Server, so Exchange
Server is still Installed On it, but I don't use it because I have it on another
machine.
Also I have put a static ip on my server and have set the preferred dns server on
my router to the server and I know that if the server doesn't have a static ip and
if the prefered dns server is not set to the server, it will take a long time to
log in, but I did set it up and it logs in fast sometimes and sometimes takes 1-2
minuites. How do I fix this problem as well?
