Workstation login to new SBS 2003 server gives domain unavailable error
I have just installed Small Business Server 2003 to a new PC. I believe I have set it up to emulate the network settings used by our old Windows 2000 Server-based server.
I have set up a small test network that doesn't have the old server connected.
For testing workstation access, I have set up a test user account, "aaron" and added the workstation computer name to Active Directory.
Our domain is "ASRC".
I can log in to the workstation as administrator and browse the whole network, including the server.
But when I attempt to log in as the test user, "aaron", I get an error message such as:
"The system cannot log you in because the domain ASRC is unavailable"
Copies of the ipconfig info for server and workstation follow below...
P.S. I assume a domain name is not case sensitive, i.e. "asrc" is same as "ASRC"?
