The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Windows cannot determine the computer name. (The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted.

Asked by gbzhhu in Windows 2000 Server, Domain Name Service (DNS), Windows NT Networking

Hi,

We have a VERY old machine that is a domain controller and also runs a couple of not so critical sites.  This machine was not updated for years.  Yesterday we found it has 1MB space left!! and event log errors stating this.  We deleted some old site files and temp files.  We made 230MB space and rebooted.  Now it is stuck at boot screen saying applying security policy.  We can get in via Safe mode.  It now takes about 2 hours to go past this screen and login.  Since this is a domain controller, all our other servers are experiencing problems.  We are seeing errors like "Windows cannot determine the computer name. (The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted. ). Group Policy processing aborted. " and "The browser service was unable to retrieve a list of servers from the browser master \\DC-THE_DOMAIN on the network"  DC-THE_DOMAIN is the domain name.

The domain is Windows 2000 server sp3

Can anyone suggest what to do?

Many thanks in advance
