Login Problem on Windows 2003 Server

[eblackmo]

I have a test network consisting of four servers running windows 2003 server R2 SP2. I have set up a domain which functioned correctly for about a day and a half until the other servers decided they can no longer connect to the domain controller. Ping resolves the domain controllers name to the correct ip nslookup finds the ip but can not resolve the name.

When I attempt to log on to a machine on the domain it takes around twenty minutes before logging me on I assume with cached credentails the following error appears in the event log under application

Event ID: 1053 Source: Usernev User: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTE M

Windows cannot determine the user or computer name. (The system detected a possible attempt to compromise security. Please ensure that you can contact the server that authenticated you. ). Group Policy processing aborted.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.co m/fwlink/events.asp.

And under System I get Event Id: 5719 Source: NETLOGON

This computer was not able to set up a secure session with a domain controller in domain abc 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.

ADDITIONAL INFO
If this computer is a domain controller for the specified domain, it sets up the secure session to the primary domain controller emulator in the specified domain. Otherwise, this computer sets up the secure session to any domain controller in the specified domain.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at

And under System on the DC I get this error Event Id: 4321 Source: NetBT

The name "abc :1d" could not be registered on the Interface with IP address 172.28.144.1. The machine with the IP address 172.28.144.2 did not allow the name to be claimed by this machine.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.co m/fwlink/events.asp.

172.28.144.2 is runnning ISA 2006 I'm also seeing some more errors to do with group policy I'm wondering if this has something to do with it?

I can access the AD on the DC using the Active Directory Users and Computers snap in I'm also seeing successful account logons under security on the DC.

netdiag output for the DC is

I should probably point out that networking is not my forte so any help/links on how to interpret the netdiag output plus any other suggestions as to what may be occuring would be good.

[Cyberdyne]

On prdc01 you are missing the DNS and Gateway entries.

DNS is crucial on a Domain setup.

What are the roles of your servers, you said you have 4.
How are they connected? Do you have a Firewall and hub setup, which server takes care of the DHCP or are you using your firewall to assign these and running your servers static?

Thank you fo such a detailed info but it is a bit confusing.

I will rename this thread so more people can help. As far as I can tell you are having a problem login in to your domain controller because some of the settings on the network are incorrect or because there is a security issue within the domain that locks up your login.
