Hello Lara,
first of all - I'd wait putting all kinds of applications
and devices which tweak the system until the DC works. You seem to have issues
with the smartcard reader, and VNC (whyever you would need that - I'd just go
for Terminal Services Administration Mode). Are you able to nail down those
other events where the event description could not be read?
Another thing to mention: you are not supposed to put the
underscore "_" character in a DNS-Name (therefor Computername). Was that your
real name or did you replace it to post here? If it was your real name, change
it.
HTH, Ulf

Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] failed to locate a DC...
I have indicated in my prev mail that I can't do dcpromo at all bec it
can't find any DC.
anyway, I've tried to do dcdiag, and apparently my SYSVOL was not shared.
So, following an instruction i found on the net, I managed to share it. but
Starting test:
frssysvol
Error: No record of File Replication System, SYSVOL started.
The Active Directory may be prevented from starting.
......................... TEST_W2KSERVER passed test frssysvol
Error: No record of File Replication System, SYSVOL started.
The Active Directory may be prevented from starting.
......................... TEST_W2KSERVER passed test frssysvol
I attached the complete result of dcdiag.
Thank you for your help. I really appreciate it

It looks to me like this a brand new domain? If not then I would suggest a DCPROMO down and up again. I'd also uninstall DNS and let the DCPROMO wizard install it.If it's not a new domain and it's live in production then please come back and we'll take it further.BRRob-----Original Message-----

Subject: [ActiveDir] failed to locate a DC...Hello,I have been struggling with this problem for almost a day, and hope to get a hand through this mailing list.The problem is that I can't make a windows2000 prof. client to join a w2k domain.I'm using a win2k server as the DNS and AD server.When I tried to add the client to the domain, the following message box popped up:The following error occurred valiedating the name 'my.domain.com'This condition may be caused by a DNS lookup problem. For more information about troubleshooting common DNS lookup problems, please see the following Microsoft Web site: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=5171Believe it or not, I have followed every single step stated in the link to resolve the problem of 'error during domain join'Then...I used some tools to find the DC in my win2k server:%NLTEST /DSGETDC:my.domain.comDcGetDcName failed: status = 1355 0x54b ERROR_NO_SUCH_DOMAIN%NETDIAG /TEST:DSGETDC /D:my.domain.com-- snip --Domain membership test...............................:failed[WARNING]: The system volume has not been completely replicated to the local machine. This machine is not working properly as a DC.---DC discovery test.........................: failedFind DC in domain 'my.domain': [FATAL] Cannot Find DC in domain 'my.domain'. [ERROR_NO_SUCH_DOMAIN]I was thinking to dcpromo my AD, and restart everything from the beginning.Well, maybe my DNS and AD setup are not correct or they are somehow corrupted.But dcpromo also failed to find a DC !! It says: Failed finding a suitable domain controller for the domain "The specified domain either doesn't exist or could not be contacted"I tried to delete my DNS record as well. It seems to be deleted, but when I closed the window and opened it again, the record was still there. Was it deleted ?Now I'm really2 stucked.Please help me,laraps: btw, pinging the machine does work
