I would be really curious to know what if any traffic was being sent from that box across the network.
I do agree that a domain admin should be able to log on without the GC. joe -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jorge de Almeida Pinto Sent: Thursday, February 05, 2004 11:47 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Disaster Recovery He should be possible to log on locally as a domain admin without needing a GC. Without DNS it should also be possible although its very slow Jorge -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of GRILLENMEIER,GUIDO (HP-Germany,ex1) Sent: Thursday, February 05, 2004 02:55 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Disaster Recovery more likely the missing GC, than DNS, when you're local on the box. So disabling the requirement for needing a GC may be worthwhile for your situation as an interims solution. /Guido -----Original Message----- From: Tony Murray [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Mittwoch, 4.

In other words, is the machine pointing to itself for DNS resolution or another machine? If the DC is not configured as a GC you will not be able to log in unless you are using a domain admin account, or have implemented the registry hack to disable GC login requirement.

We backed up our FSMO role holding domain controller including system state, dns, dhcp - all services that were on the box. We then restored it onto a server in our lab (in DSRestore mode and off the production network), and it restored OK, but it won't let us log into the domain - it's saying the domain isn't available (even though it's a domain controller we're trying to log into!)
