Logon Tab in Services
Hello,
I have a Windows 2003 sever which is a member of my domain. I'll call it my firewall server.
There is only 1 domain controller on the network and it runs Active Directory. I'll call this the Domain Controller.
On the firewall server, in Services, under any of the services, under the Properties, and then Logon Tab, I want to use the Browse button to select to log on as Administrator from the Domain Controller which runs Active Directory.
However, when I click that Browse button, all I get is choices from that server that I am on. There is no directory under it. So it's only looking at the local accounts. I can't get out to the rest of the servers/computers on the network.
I have another server, also Windows 2003, set up in much the same fashion, and it does get the directory to choose from.
I really need this as I need to sync the users from AD with the firewall software I have on this server. Any help would be really appreciated. I'm sure I'm just overlooking some other service or something. I also tried this on an individual file on the machine. I went in to the properties of the file, and then to Security and tried to Add. Again, I could only get choices from the local machine.
Thanks a bunch, anyone who could help.

Another thought - you could also try just typing in the administrators credentials rather than browsing for them, there are two formats you could use -
domain\administrator
or
administrator@domain
substituting the word domain for your real domain name. If it doesn't work then you definitely have an authentication issue.

Yes, I believe I do have an authentication problem. And I'm really stumped as to why. I did join it to the domain, along with the rest of my machines. (I created the new domain yesterday). But this machine was the first one I joined.
I can go through windows explorer and see and access any and all machines. I can't access them via a directory, like when using the Security tab or in Services. And once again, the other 2003 server does access in this way just fine.
Let me ask you this, what are the implications of attempting to "rejoin" the domain? If I went in to My Computer>>Properties>>Netw
Or could it maybe a DNS thing?
Thanks a bunch for responding.

May be your firewall have access lists preventing communication to the domain controller?

Okay, thanks. I'm good to go now. Guess I had to rejoin. Not sure what happened.
Thanks again
Thanks again
glad it worked :)
is your firewall server joined to your domain ?
If not its probably not authenticating and so cant get access to Active Directory, try adding it to the domain.
i'm sure you know this already, but just for completeness -
to add to domain - Right click My Compuer, Properties, Comuter Name, click change adn follow prompts (it ay be slightly different as i dont have a 2003 server to test i on right now).
