Good day Experts. I'm a novice Administrator and this issue haunts me. I have a DC running Windows Server 2003. It runs DHCP and Active Directory. DHCP was mysteriously unauthorized, and the authorize option from the Action Tab is not present. I went into Active Directory and the following error message popped up:<br />
<br />
Naming information cannot be located because:<br />
The target principal name is incorrect.<br />
Contact your system administrator to verify that your domain is properly configured and is currently online.<br />
<br />
I tried running a dcpromo to remove/reinstalling Active Directory and but after following the steps in the wizard, the following error message popped up:<br />
<br />
The operation failed because:<br />
Managing the network session with rbgrdc.CFLSLU.COM<br />
&quot;Logon Failure: The target account name is incorect.&quot;<br />
<br />
(rbgrdc.cflslu.com being another DC on the netwprk).<br />
<br />
All the troubleshooting has been done while logged in as an enterprise admin. Not sure what my next step should be from here. Any assistance would be much appreciated.<br />
