RPC Server Not Available - Freezing FSMO DC.
I cant seem to find whats causing our main DC (FSMO) to freeze. The RPC server not available message comes up when users try to authenticate. Its causing the CPU to pin at 100% rendering the DC useless.

ryansoto - about a million dependancies-have you ever looked at how many there are ?
not a million but few basic direct linked, see in administrative tools in control panel what shares do you have (administrative)

48 on the Server 2003 standard, 59 on my other DC which is Server 2008 standard.
are we into counting or into solving this ? is the rpc server running ?

relax ! ;-)
yes it is running = started/automatc. There is nothing inthe event logs that is tipping me off either. Just strated the other day so I was racking my brain as to whats different or what was changed and we hardly ever touch this DC other that to have a look around every few days. Reboots once a month

Turns out that one of my branch office support users was trying to add a refurbed desktop to the domain and the drive obviously had some sort of poison trojan or worm on it and it would not add to the domain but would pin the processor on that particular DC. Once we remove that beast from the netrwork and turned it off the DC is back being a domain controller. I have never seen a desktop do that before !! Thanks to all.
