Windows cannot bind to domain (Time Out)

I am getting this error (Event Id 1006 userenv) along with event id 1053 on
XP clients that are connecting to our domain via a VPN over a PIX. This has
worked for quite some time and now it is causing 45 minutes to apply computer
settings, clients cannot access our Exchange server and GPO's are not being
applied. There are no errors server side. I have checked DNS and I do not see
anything wrong. What will cause this error and how do I resolve this? Thanks.

Two things pop into my mind DNS and Cached Credentials.

Couple of quick things
Can you do an nslookup correctly
Run a trace route back from the XP machine
Check your reverse zone to make sure it is correct

Check out these two locations for users with similar problems

Thanks.

I can do a nslookup from the XP machine with no problems. I have not checked
cached credentials yet, that is on the Manage Passwords tab, yes? Could all 5
machines be having a cached credentials issue, what would cause that? Where
else should I be checking to resolve this? Thanks for the help.

Webby,

You mention that you can do an NSLOOKUP correctly. Try doing the NSLOOKUP
to the FQDN of your domain (DoaminName.local or whatever). This will make
sure you are looking up the domain rather than just the server and will show
you if the SRV records associated with the domain are seen correctly.

If you are having DNS problems or problems contacting the PDCe, you will get
those errors. To verify that there are no other problems with the FSMO
roles, I would suggest that you run DCDIAG and NETDIAG in verbose mode
against your server. These can be found int he Support Tools on the Server
CD (you do install these on every server you have, right??)

Let me know if this gets you anywhere....

Here is a detailed explanation of cached credentials and how they could
pertain specifically to your scenario.
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/pro...81be5348e.mspx

When you say you have validated the dns have you tried both forward and
reverse lookups? Does the PIX appliance block any ports(Or is there a
firewall that could be doing this)? Is the xp (sp2) firewall blocking any
ports.

You can check to see if the sysvol share is connectible by opening up
Windows Explorer and in the address line enter \\domain_name\sysvol example
\\microsoft.com\sysvol. This where your gpo's are stored.

Thank both of you for your replies. Some additional info:
There are two Windows 2000 pro clients that are in these remote offices, and
they are not affected as the XP Pro clients are. I can browse to the sysvol
share. The XP firewall is off and the PIX config has not changed in two years
that these clients could connect. How do I get rid of the cached
credentials? I really need to resolve this as the people in these offices
cannot work :( I will need to check the reverse lookups, I only checked the
forward lookups.

If you want to determine if the users are authenticating via cached
credentials open up a command prompt and type in "set logonserver" if it
doesn't have one of your dc's in there (Has the local system) then you know
this system is using cached credentials.

To disable cached credentials see the following:

http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;242536

If W2K users aren't having problems then I doubt that this is a cache
credential problem.

In your opinion, what do you think it is and what should I check to resolve
this?

I'm stumped.

Attempt the cached credentials option and see if fixes from a link I gave
earlier from eventid.net has any merit.
