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!

Urgent problem: Event ID 5781 in Win2003, and clients cannot log on.

Asked by silent_waters in Windows 2003 Server, Active Directory, Domain Name Service (DNS)

Tags: Windows Server 2003 DNS Netlogon Windows XP

I've recently set up a new windows 2003 server at a new site in our business. I set up a dozen winXP client computers too. It is the 7th site in the business, and I've set the server up in the same way as all the others, it is running AD, DNS (AD integrated) and DHCP, and it was working perfectly, but this morning, when users tried to log on it took half an hour and didn't load their profiles. They have no access to their my documents folders which are on the server.
The server is showing error 5781 in the event log, and I can't find a solution that is relevent to Win2003 except after the server has been renamed, which mine hasn't.
Any ideas would be appreciated, I'm working against the clock to get the system back up.

Event ID:	5781
Date:		12/03/2009
Time:		11:41:18
User:		N/A
Computer:	WLSPDC01
Description:
Dynamic registration or deletion of one or more DNS records associated with DNS domain 'wlmg.local.' failed.  These records are used by other computers to locate this server as a domain controller (if the specified domain is an Active Directory domain) or as an LDAP server (if the specified domain is an application partition).  
 
Possible causes of failure include:  
- TCP/IP properties of the network connections of this computer contain wrong IP address(es) of the preferred and alternate DNS servers 
- Specified preferred and alternate DNS servers are not running 
- DNS server(s) primary for the records to be registered is not running 
- Preferred or alternate DNS servers are configured with wrong root hints 
- Parent DNS zone contains incorrect delegation to the child zone authoritative for the DNS records that failed registration  
 
USER ACTION  
Fix possible misconfiguration(s) specified above and initiate registration or deletion of the DNS records by running 'nltest.exe /dsregdns' from the command prompt or by restarting Net Logon service. Nltest.exe is available in the Microsoft Windows Server Resource Kit CD.
