Hi There,<br />
<br />
I have a server running Windows Server 2003 and SQL Server 2000. Each day I see an error from Netlogon in the system log as follows:<br />
<br />
&quot;This computer was not able to set up a secure session with a domain controller in domain DOMAINNAME due to the following: <br />
The RPC server is unavailable. &nbsp;<br />
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. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
ADDITIONAL INFO <br />
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.<br />
<br />
For more information, see Help and Support Center at &quot;<br />
<br />
We notice that the application which the server hosts crashes out around the time this event is recorded. Does anyone know what might be and how to fix it? The machine is a member of a Windows NT 4 domain<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
