Domain Not Available
Hello all,
Recently I went to make changes to our backup selections but was unable to
do so on remote selections from Veritas. I then went into Windows explorer
from a domain controller and wet to My Network Places, Entire Network,
Microsoft Windows Network, Domain. Then I receive an error message stating
the following.
"Domain is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network
resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have
access permissions.
The list of servers for this workgroup is not currently available."
I am logged in as the domain administrator so I dont think permissions is
the issue.
Next I run netdiag from the windows support tools on the domain controller
and recieve the message for the DC list test as failed. "Failed to enumerate
DCs by using the browser. [Error_NO_BROWSER_SERVERS_FOUND]
Next I run dcdiag and the only failure I receive is on the system log.
Next I run browstat status and receive "Status for domain DOMAIN on
transport \Device\NetBT_Tcpip_{C9680631-BE28-$^A4-ABE9-B72A63C1727F}
Browsing is NOT active on domain. Status : 6118
Master name cannot be determined from GetAdapterStatus.
I also went into the registry and changed the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Browser\Parameters
IsDomainMaster = Yes
I rebooted the server and still the error persists.
Can anyone provide me some further direction? I REALLY appreciate it.
Keith
Yes the computer browser service is running and DNS appears to be without
error. I'm very puzzled by this issue.
I can browse the web, ping by hostname, enter \\servername to see file
shares, and even enter nslookup and get the correct information. This just
started happening out of nowhere.

Hi - got WINS? If you need to browse, you should have WINS running properly,
and of course make sure NetBIOS over TCP/IP is enabled on all your machines
& that they're registered properly in WINS.

Re: Domain Not Available
I found the solution. On my dc there was a message in the event log saying
that a workstation won the master browser election. I remoted onto the
workstation saw that it was running windows 2000 professional. I went into
services, stopped the computer browser service, and then disabled it. Strange
issue I must say. It took me hours to figure this one out.

I like to disable the computer browser service on all domain computers via
GPO - makes life easier. Although if you have WINS running you shouldn't
necessarily have the problem anyway.
