2008 SBS domain, running dcdiag to try to check for problems & am getting following message;
Running enterprise tests on : mydomain.local
Starting test: LocatorCheck
Warning: DcGetDcName(GC_SERVER_REQUIRED) call failed, error 1355
A Global Catalog Server could not be located - All GC's are down.
Warning: DcGetDcName(TIME_SERVER) call failed, error 1355
A Time Server could not be located.
The server holding the PDC role is down.
Warning: DcGetDcName(GOOD_TIME_SERVER_PREFERRED) call failed, error
1355
A Good Time Server could not be located.
Server that is supposedly down is not, as I am currently on it.
Where do I start?

Start with DNS.
Is the DNS server configured on the network card pointing to the SBS server itself? (it should be).
Is DNS running on the server? (it should be).
Are the relevant records all there?

I believe so. Although error messages present. Currently waiting for the damn thing to reboot....

A 15 min delay, sitting at "Applying computer settings" would be normal if the machine cannot contact the domain for some reason, which looks to be the case.

We get it - no one likes a content blocker. Take one extra minute and find out why we block content.
Not exactly the question you had in mind?

It was my BDC, but was off (?), not out here much, as it's pretty low maintenance, but when it rains it pours
Starting that one up now...,
This is the best money I have ever spent. I cannot not tell you how many times these folks have saved my bacon. I learn so much from the contributors.

It's back up - should I leave as is, or remove DNS from it?

And with that one up & running, things are behaving better, but not sure if they're quite right.
I've got about an hour ride home, so if you've got any other suggestions, I'll follow up from home.

Yes, but something still not right, now users having trouble logging on & thiose who were already cannot access network drives...
