I am getting the following error intermittently when logging in at a domain computer (either Windows XP Pro or Windows 7 Pro):
.“Windows cannot connect to the domain either because the domain controller is down or otherwise unavailable or because your computer account was not found. Please try again later. If this message continues to appear contact your system administrator for assistance.”
I have resolved this in the past by deleting and recreating the computer account on the SBS 2003 server. The server is about six or seven years old and I have not changed the licensing (10 CALS) - although I lost five CALS and had to re-add them via
the Licensing Console in SBS Server Administrator. Not sure why I lost them - they simply disappeared. I seem to have developed this problem since. I have 10 CALS, but I am running over by two. This has not been a problem in the past
- so I have largely ignored the fact that I'm over.
I don't want to recreate everyone's computer account. Do I have to buy more CALS? Or is there something more sinister going on here?
Thanks!
