When our PDC is down, the other DC is showing some issues. PCs can logon, however, not fully. The event logs of the PC show NETLOGON 5719 errors and GroupPolicy 1129 errors. There are also Time-Service 129 warnings and DNS Client Events 1014 warnings. In addition, the drive mappings fail with the notification area pop-up "Could not reconnect all network drives."
Event 5719
This computer was not able to set up a secure session with a domain controller in domain OURDOMAIN due to the following:
There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request.
This may lead to authentication problems. Make sure that this computer is connected to the network. If the problem persists, please contact your domain administrator.
Event 1129
The processing of Group Policy failed because of lack of network connectivity to a domain controller. This may be a transient condition. A success message would be generated once the machine gets connected to the domain controller and Group Policy has succesfully
processed. If you do not see a success message for several hours, then contact your administrator.
Event 129
NtpClient was unable to set a domain peer to use as a time source because of discovery error. NtpClient will try again in 3473457 minutes and double the reattempt interval thereafter. The error was: The entry is not found. (0x800706E1)
Event 1014
Name resolution for the name DL-6410-52.ourdomain.local timed out after none of the configured DNS servers responded.
I ran DCDIAG on both DCs and the only test that fails is the systemlogtest. Anyone know what is wrong and how to address this problem? Our DCs are Windows 2003 Server.
