How to change default LOGONSERVER

Can try to specify it in the enviroment variables.  Properties of My Computer, Advanced System Settings, Enviroment Variables.

Can also check the registry for LOGONSERVER - there are a couple of entries in there.  Just replicate the configuration which works from your good machines to the one which isn't working.

In 2008 server, go to
administrator tools >
local policy >
user rights assigment >
give rights to 2003 domain administrator account to "allow log on locally" & "log on using batch"

The BES server which is having an issue is a Windows 2003 box.

My suggestions were for 2003 / windows xp / windows 7

Have a look at: https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/21661187/Preferred-logon-domain-controller-in-windows-2000.html or  http://support.microsoft.com/kb/141714 and see if that helps.

Or try this

You can allow your client machines to log on to a specific domain controller by changing the *SRV Priority*.

Go to DNS Console > Expand Forward Lookup Zone > domain_name.com > _MSDCS > _TCP > in right pane find two records so-called "LDAP" and "KERBEROS", edit these records and change the priority to 0 for this domain controller.

==================================================

I shall check and get back

Many Thanks

I discussed it and found that the entries in DNS console reset themselves when you reboot it.

This is the recommended method from Microsoft

SetX command worked perfectly.

Many Thanks.
